My baby is growing up
The date on the photo is wrong; it happened last night.
Audrey was wiggling her tooth when she came home from AWANA last night, and invited me to wiggle it to see how loose it was getting.
"Wow," I said. "It really is getting loose!" As I let go, I felt a little pop in the back of the tooth.
"OH! Umm..."
"What, Mom, what?"
"I think I just pulled it a little bit looser."
She wiggled it herself again, and I told her to pull it forward as far as it would go and let me see. When she let go, I could see *underneath* the tooth from the back.
"Keep wiggling it, Audrey. I bet you could get it out tonight if you really want to."
I went out of the room for a moment, and as I was coming back, I heard her say "I got it!" I looked, and she was looking at the floor...it had fallen out of her fingers. I picked it up...it was so tiny! Are all baby front incisors really small?? I don't remember my first lost tooth being so little.
So we took some pictures, put the tooth in an envelope, and put it under her pillow. And when she got up this morning, the tooth fairy had left her a new, crisp, one-dollar bill. One whole dollar! Boy, talk about inflation. All I ever got as a kid was a quarter.

Congrats to Audrey! I was always too wussy to wiggle mine out - my dad had to pull them.
She is super-cute, by the way.
It's my understanding that first teeth are worth a little more to the tooth fairy; it's a possibility the price'll come down some for further teeth???
Their teeth ARE small! I always thought that.
What a sweet looking gal!
Today I was just thinking about the day my girls will start losing their baby teeth. Sigh.
Audrey is a beautiful girl! But you knew that...
Congrats to Audrey!
Kaylee lost her first tooth this fall. She has one right now that has been loose for a long time. VERY loose. She won't let anyone else touch it. I'm afraid she's going to swallow it in her sleep or something. (She still sticks her fingers in her mouth sometimes when she is sleeping.)
