Princess 1 lost her first tooth!!
(Well - I pulled it with a piece of dental floss, but it had the same result in the end, really...)
And she is so chuffed with herself. (I know - scary sight! Thank goodness she brushed her teeth before I took the pic)..
There is some serious oneup(wo)manship with her best friend Teesta, so now the playing fields have been leveled.
And she is nogal tough too! Tried to pull it by herself first but didn't have long enough arms to yank it out!
I must say, the Tooth Mouse has really been pushing up his prices lately.
When I lost my first tooth, I think I received the grand amount of 50c for my tooth.
No such luck for the hapless parents of media savvy kids these days. (Even though they still believe in the Tooth Mouse, Fairies and Father Christmas.)
My daughter got R15 for her first gem.
That's half a McMeal. Or a Sundae with Apple Pie. Or two loaves of bread. Or two cans of Coke.
(Why do I always think in terms of food - that's really sad..)
And one of them was PAPER MONEY!! The excitement.
That I can deal with.
It is the fact that my little bunny is growing up that is hard!!
Whaaaaaaaa-haaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
What is next - boobs, periods & boyfriends?????

Keep writing I am really enjoying it, you have a great style already, much better then me and i've been at it awhile now! Oh well we can't all be great! lol
Awwhhh, so cute! My kids take forever to get rid of their baby teeth - the 14 yr old has still got one or two left. She obviously doesn't believe in the tooth fairy anymore, so I just hand over the money :-)
Thanks guys - I enjoy your comments and thank you for your well wishes!
On the return side, I religiously read your blogs to see what you have been up to (even though we don't all get to write every day) (And even though Poopie only started writing recently - you will have to give me your real name - calling you Poopie is BAAAAAADDDD!!!!!!!!!!!)
It's good to 'speak' to you - I wish it could be over a REAL cup of tea. We will just have to do it in cyberspace!
