First Tooth

Cerys has had a "wobbly" tooth for about two weeks. She's been asking for months if any of them were loose and I kept having to tell her no until one day she ate some crusty bread and said it was hurting. I checked and lo and behold there was indeed a loose one! Sunday night it was really wobbly and bothering her but she did not want her Daddy pulling it. So I just knew it would come out at school on Monday and I was actually praying it wouldn't because I wanted to be with her when this momentous occasion happened. Last night during dinner it began bleeding and she was so worried and worked up over it, so we told her to just keep wiggling it around. Frankly, I was ready for the drama to be over. It was really stressing us all out. She worked and worked on it and finally I announced it was shower and bath time so the tooth would have to wait.

If you've been to our house you know how tiny our bathroom is- well all five of us were crammed in there. Marc was running the bath water, Cerys was standing on a stool inspecting her tooth in the mirror, Bailey was busy, um, sitting on the toilet, and I was trying to keep Addison out of the toothpaste. All of the sudden Cerys shouts "MY TOOTH" and she was holding it in her hands. We all cheered, I grabbed the camera and starting crying while Marc mouthed "STOP IT" to me and Addison was jumping up and down because that was all she knew to do! Cerys was so proud. I turned around to see Bailey, arms crossed huffing "I WANT MY TOOTH TO COME OUT TOO, IT'S NOT FAIR!" All in due time my child. So, I was thankful for our little family moment in the loo.

She was immediately worried that the Tooth Fairy wouldn't know that she sleeps on the top bunk, so she made a sign all on her own accord. (See those *classy* Chuck E. Cheese pictures behind her? That's her Gigi and Papa that she sleeps next to each night)

The Tooth Fairy did come, but all she had was a 2 pound coin (!) on her, so we told Cerys not to get use to that! Since it was her first tooth, that was kind of a big deal but that the tooth fairy might only leave about 50p next time. I printed out a cute little picture of a tooth fairy and taped her money to it- here she is this morning before school. She could not wait to get to school to show her teacher and friends.

We were not really sure how to handle the tooth fairy, but oh well. We thought it would be fun. And it was.

And for fun, here's cheeky little Addison before her Tumble Tots class

Be. still. my. heart. She is growing way too fast.
