12/13/21 – Lost Your First Tooth

I had to wake you up and dress you in bed at 8:20a. I couldn’t get you up to save my life lol! I had to carry you to the bathroom and physically brush your teeth myself!! Surprisingly, you headed out to the car, climbed in, buckled up and chatted the entire way. You were “reading” my Buca di Bepo cookbook and making up stories to go along with the pictures. It was hilarious! I was happy about that!

When I picked you up, you came down the steps with a huge smile showing me you lost your top front tooth today! I immediately cried and gave you a huge hug. I sat on the steps while you told me all about how you were eating goldfish as snack time and and then you heard a crunch and your tooth fell out! We went home to make dinner and decorate the Christmas cookies we made yestereday! Marina came over and you guys had a Porchetta. You LOVED it!!!!

Of course the tooth fairy came and brought fairy dusted money, a fairy gold coin, a tooth fairy penny, some confetti and a letter. She also used floss to teach Little Red a lesson! I can’t believe you lost your tooth. It is the start of the next stage for you and it’s so bittersweet. You look adorable with your missing tooth and it’s so sweet that it was just in time for Christmas!!

I love you so much!
