I don’t know why teeth are such a weird thing and major milestone for me. Tiny, perfect baby teeth mean that I still have a tiny, perfect baby… And then they start to fall out and are replaced by these huge, gnarly chunks of enamel, dentine, pulp, and cementum. (so maybe I Goggled.) We are one step closer to inevitable orthodontic bills, but more poignantly, one step further away from a precious babyhood that simply can’t be reclaimed.
That said, this kid was PUMPED to lose her first tooth at school today. (It was far less dramatic than her big brother’s first experience.)
Now, does anyone have change for a $20? The tooth fairy doesn’t want to go to the bank.
