And The Tooth Fairy Came.....

We had a little visit from the Tooth Fairy yesterday - girlie lost her first baby tooth, at 5 years 8 months and 20 days old. We finally decided to bring her to the dentist to get it extracted instead of letting it drop out naturally, after she complained yet again that the wriggly tooth was causing her pain and discomfort. But the actual push factor for me was her new tooth that looked set to burst out crooked. Yes I am all about the vanity. Being her first visit to a dentist, naturally there was a lot of crying, whining, screaming, struggling and all that drama, and it took 20 mins just to get that little bugger out. But after the whole "ordeal" she was very proud of the new gap in her mouth, declaring that she was going to show off to her friends first thing on Monday. On the way home she admired her old tooth in the ziplock and declared, "I'm going to put this under my pillow tonight, so Papa remember to be the Tooth Fairy and put an ang pow under it for me ok?" (ang pow being a red packet with a money gift) Yep, she knows the Tooth Fairy is just fairy tale, but that doesn't stop her from wanting the cash! Hah!
