The Second One Is Out

Our older daughter lost her first tooth while we were camping about 3 weeks ago.  The tooth next to it was getting loose, too, but we thought it would be a while before it finally came out.  Wrong!  She woke me up at 4:15 this morning with her loud whisper (she's incapable of speaking quietly, no matter what the circumstances), "Mom, I lost my tooth!"

It took me a bit to process that information - it's not what you typically hear from your child in the middle of the night.  Apparently, she woke up and was wiggling it with her tongue and it just fell out.  We weren't able to find it in her bed at that point, but she wasn't bothered by that. She went back to sleep and shared the excitement with everyone else in the morning.  She and her brother searched for the tooth again in the morning, and they did manage to find it tucked down next to her mattress.

So the tooth fairy will be paying a visit again tonight.  Luckily, she doesn't have any others loose, or it'd be pretty tough for her to eat! And the tooth fairy would be needing to take out a loan to keep up with her.
