Missing: Her First Tooth.
Lost: Between this tweet and this one.
{Clarification: Shortly after 7pm, as we were all watching television together.}
Emotional Reaction: [Hers] Pride and excitement [Mine] Same, with an added twinge of the Oh My God, She’s Getting Older/Bigger’s.
Age: Almost 7.5 years (the last in the class to lose their first tooth, or so we presume.)
Tooth Fairy Going Rate: Two dollars.
Time she came into our room to show us the tooth fairy had come: Too early!

I would get a big ‘gappy’ photograph to post, except you can’t see a hole. The other tooth is already fully up! These suckers are holding on until the very, very end. I’m okay with that.
