Change

Doesn't she look different to you? To me it seems like she grew up overnight.



Maybe you should look a little closer....



Can you see?


Last Friday Caitlin lost her first tooth after it had been wobbling in her mouth for only a few weeks. It happened in school and she was afraid she had lost it since she couldn't find it in the little paper handkerchief the teacher wrapped it in. Luckily I found it, it was so tiny one could easily miss it, sticking to the corner of the handkerchief.

When she went to bed she put the little box with her precious tooth underneath her pillow and in the morning, well what do you know, the toothfairy had left her a shiny coin!
The end of an era... but also the start of something new. My little girl is not so little anymore...

I just love the innocence of the little ones believing in the tooth fairy. So sweet.

I still remember being so excited waiting for the tooth fairy to come when i was little! (A few years ago now!)

She is a beautiful girl Tania.

hey tania:)
my original thought was that she'd lost a tooth; then i scrolled down to the second photo with her smiling... (not realizing that there was a third, i thought maybe i was wrong.)
then, there it was... a tiny little space. it is the beginning of a new era... she is growing and not a baby anymore... and PERFECT in every way!!!
celebrate:D
love and knuffels,
dani

Aweh :)
They grow up so fast, don't they?!
Little Jack has lost at least six of his tiny teeth, and we have to joke with him and call him Jack-o-lantern at times :P

She is so gorgeous tania ~ and how sweet that she kept the tooth wrapped in a little hankie.
The tooth fairy certainly is being kept busy ~ she has visited here recently too!
Hope all is well with you,
Love and hugs Tab XXXXX

What an adorable sweetheart you have! I remember I was so excited whenever I lost a tooth!

Isn't nice that we have such a wonderful opportunity now to share our happy memories with our children?

Hi Tania

An end of an era indeed and now the tooth fairy will get to know your house very well.

I love Caitlin's "new" smile.

Lots of love and hugs
