holy tooth-hole, batman!

Today we came home from our language class to discover that Anna lost her very first tooth!  Very momentous around here…

We knew it was bound to happen.  That little white piece of calcium has been hanging in the wind for days (weeks?) now it seems.  I was explaining the lumberjack term, timber!, to Anna just yesterday because her tooth was leaning so perilously.  The culprit that finally removed her little chomper: a bite into a sweetened rice cake.

Anna said she thought what she was feeling was a piece of the rice cake in her mouth, but it was actually the rebel tooth.

My main question now is:  Is the tooth fairy aware of the current exchange (US $ to RMB) rate and is she aware of the current market value for a pristine first tooth?  I’m sure glad that tooth fairy is smarter than I am (uh…yeah?)  When in doubt, ask your child about the tooth fairy best practices.

    She’s growing up!!! I miss seeing her beautiful smile in person. I reckon the tooth-fairy pays the US market rate in RMB.

    From our experience (and we’ve had QUITE a few, I’d say at least 30 visits) with the toothfairy, she is MUCH more generous than she was when we were kids… especially if you loose a tooth late at night and she has to go to the ATM and the ATM only gives $20s! I know the first one is worth a lot too. Hee, hee.

    Wow, she really is growing up fast! Losing your first tooth is a big deal! And it doesn’t sound like it was traumatic at all…sometimes it can be! Love you all, Laura
