Sophia lost her first tooth.

It was literally hanging on by a few threads. She could push it with her tongue and point it completely upside down.

We were at Target - in the dressing room. I asked her if I could just pull it out because I was afraid she was going to lose it and flick it with her tongue and not even realize it. She was crying. She was scared. And then it just fell right out onto her tongue.

We ran to the $1.00 section and found a Hello Kitty round, pink "Tupperware" container and put it in there for safe keeping until we got home.

That was on Wednesday night. Sophia has a decision to make. She could either put the tooth under her pillow that night and have the tooth fairy visit without ever seeing her tooth - or she could wait until Sunday night. Will had left on Tuesday night for CA and wasn't getting back until Saturday morning, at which point he was planning to join us at Haley and Carlie's family's beach house in Duck, NC. The girls and I left for Duck on Thursday morning after swimming class. We were planning on coming back on Sunday afternoon, but like I already mentioned, Will was going to arrive by noon on Saturday.

Sophia decided she would wait until Sunday night to put the tooth under her pillow. So, last night, the tooth fairy came to our house. She left a red envelope under Sophia's pillow. Inside it was $1.00 and a miniature booklet of cupcake tattoos.

All day Sophia carried her loot around in the pink Hello Kitty "tooth" container.

I took this picture at Target.
