For the last couple of weeks, Sophie has been off and on preoccupied with her bottom front tooth's looseness. While she was feeling excited about the "big kidness" of it all, I knew she was a little nervous about whether or not it would hurt when it came out. Now all of that wonder and worry is behind her, and she is indeed feeling very mature- her tooth came out Friday night during "pizza and movie night"!!

In a humorous twist of events, she didn't even feel it come out. Didn't even know it had come out, until I asked her how the tooth was doing. She showed me, and I shrieked, "It's not THERE!!!" We looked in vain all over the couch, in the ice cream bowl, in her pajamas. Yep. You guessed it. She must have swallowed it.

So, Sophie spent the remainder of the evening shaking her head saying, "I can't believe it" and looking at her new space in the mirror. We wrote a note to the tooth fairy explaining what happened. Fortunately, the tooth fairy is not a stickler for seeing the actual tooth. She left a glittery dollar bill for our big girl. Who, by the way, swears that she will never, ever spend that special dollar.
