Bella's Baby Tooth

Thanks to my sisters blog I was reminded to post about a milestone that we reached here at our home.  Bella lost her first tooth (and her second 3 days later but I'm pretending it's just the one… I'm ashamed for missing the big one)!  Bella finally lost that tooth on Christmas Eve but I was convinced she would lose it 5 then 4 then 3 then 2 days before she actually did as it was literally hanging by one single thread.  I am surprised she didn't swallow it in her sleep… her "big kid" tooth was practically half way in while her baby tooth held on for life!  Contrary to my sisters thought that Santa Clause and the Tooth-Fairy may hook up if they bumped into each other on Christmas Eve night, they didn't… they were too tired with too much work to do.

So… my baby, my last child, has lost her tooth.

I am sad.
