After all that wiggling and the loose tooth still not falling out, Grampa Joe came to the rescue. With a piece of floss and a little tug, that little baby tooth went flying up in the air, hit the wall and bounced somewhere in the living room. Miranda was too busy laughing to realize that she was bleeding from where her tooth was. The Tooth Fairy came for a visit, and she was very generous! She gave Miranda a spinning toothbrush and a five-dollar bill since the first tooth was a special one. Finally, Miranda can go to school and write her name on the tooth chart at school! Yippee! Then my daughter completely surprised me. She decided to donate her tooth money to Operation Rice Bowl because she said she wanted to help the poor during Lent. I’m so proud of her.
The First Tooth is Out!

Congrats Miranda!
I remember wanting to lose my first tooth soooo bad in First Grade! My teacher had cut-outs of teeth that you got to put your name on when you lost a tooth and she would post it around the perimeter of the classroom. I kept waiting and checking my teeth to see if I was getting close. I was really disappointed when the last day of school came and I still had not lost my first tooth….I think I finally lost the tooth that summer. 😦
So sorry, Kristin! That’s a tough one for teachers because you want to celebrate a milestone, yet you don’t want to make anyone feel left out. Life lessons, right? I hope your parents made a big deal of it over the summer.
Clearly you can see I was affected by this event- I remember it 25 years later!!!!! hahaha!!! I am sure my mom….errrrr the Tooth fairy did something significant for this occasion- but I can’t remember 🙂
What a great idea to give your daughter a spinning toothbrush as part of the tooth fairy’s gift. That’s really sweet that she donated the money too. What a rewarding thing as a parent. I’ve started thinking recently about my son nearing that age to lose teeth. It grosses me out a bit. 🙂 I found this Mom’s Guide (http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/) that talks about how to care for teeth that are falling out. Some great tips!
