Toothless

After weeks of wiggling, she finally lost her first tooth. And by lost, I mean she ripped it straight out of her mouth. Seriously, she is one tough kid. I don't think I have ever seen her so excited. But, sometimes excitement turns to tragedy. As she was rinsing off her tooth (like 5 seconds after she pulled it) it went down the drain. I am pretty sure I have never heard her cry with such complete and utter heartbreak before that moment, it was the saddest thing I have ever heard. Like the sound of a puppy being kicked, but worse. So she left a note for the toothfairy.

Fortunately, the toothfairy still came and left a trail of pixie dust from the window to the bed. And $2. Funny thing about that $2 though, Aliz was sleeping in Bella's room that night and somehow Aliz ended up with $1 clenched in her little fist in the middle of the night, so Bella thinks the toothfairy brought $1. And rather than start a fight, I am going to just let her think that. Nothing good can come of revealing the thief's identity, I am sure.
