Something’s Missing
This little girl had a loose tooth. 
The very same tooth that once upon a time caused her weeks of pain while it grew in.
- Ah! The scary rose of doom!!!
 Yes, the good old days, where she screamed all the time. Except when she wasn’t, and then I had my camera ready. Colicy baby? No, no… All babies cry constantly unless you’re holding them, right? Right. Thank goodness one is only a first-time parent once.
Anyway, those little teeth sure were lovely when they finally came in. See?
Okay, so you have to zoom in to see them properly. They got bigger.
No, these were not edited to increase the cuteness factor. She really was that stinkin’ cute. Even cuter sometimes, if you can believe it.

Enough of memory lane, although that was super fun and I know you’re all sad to not see more more more pictures of my darling baby daughter. She’s not so little any more. And something is missing now.
I wasn’t in the room when it happened, but I sure heard about it after. It had something to do with trying to open a pop-lid can of pineapple with that partially loose tooth. Crunch. Cinderella dislodged it so much (“It” being the tooth, not the can. The can was unmoved.) she thought, “Hey, I bet I can just pull this sucker out.”
So she did.
And then she screamed for an hour.Â
It was lots of fun, let me tell you.
But eventually the bleeding stopped, the pain went away, and then it was cool. I mean, this is the first time the actual Tooth Fairy has been invited to our house… Excitement! 
Just thought I’d share.
First lost tooth–that is the best! Way to go darling Cinderella!
LOVE this post!!!! We had a rather traumatic first tooth loss last year. Brent was devastated that his body was falling apart.
LOL at the rose of doom!!!
Aww! SO exciting! I remember the excitement of my teeth falling out…haha. YAY!
VERY cool. (And also cute–what a baby!)
I like your new blog look, too. Quite “modin” and streamlined.
That’s “modern” in British, if you couldn’t tell.)
I already know (being the incredibly lucky mom that I am) that the tooth fairy in your house has very pretty scrolly handwriting for writing notes to kids that had to wait a while for their teeth to get picked up at my house. P.S. Kaisa just lost another tooth. Mommy helped her “wiggle it” all the while singing a song about her wiggly-piggly tooth so as to get her to laugh & distract her the fact that Mom was actually yanking it out for her. LOL!!!
