My big girl lost her first tooth.
I was cleaning my van and could hear her screaming over the vacuum cleaner. When I turned to see her running down the sidewalk, all I saw was blood gushing out of her mouth and her hands catching the dripping blood. I assumed she'd been hit in the mouth. I ran to her as she was sobbing and then saw the hole where her little tooth had been. I finally got the story out of her that she bit a nerf football. The tooth was nowhere to be found.
Once we got her all cleaned up, the excitement of "losing" her first tooth set in and she quickly wrote the Tooth Fairy a note...

The Tooth Fairy came and left her $5 for her first tooth (she knows it will be $1 for subsequent teeth). She immediately went to Target and bought a wallet and make-up with her earnings.
The kid cannot save.
Every time I look at her toothless grin, my heart sinks that my baby girl is growing up.
