The Tooth Fairy

It is official...my baby is growing up.   Not only in sophistication,  but in physiology as well...she has lost her first tooth.

This is what it looked like the morning of our dentist appointment for our 6 mos. cleaning.   I was hoping it would be gone by the time we went at 11.  No such luck.  This is what she looked like in the chair.

Then...the inevitable happened.  The water pushed it out.

It was the dental hygienist first tooth lost during a cleaning thus she said...she would never forget Amelia :)  They put the tooth in a little treasure chest and we headed home.  We put the little box into the bag of her tooth fairy doll along with a letter asking to keep her first tooth ("as it's special").   We woke at 5am the next morning to find this:

A letter, the tooth now magically in a glass vile and a very sparkly $5 bill rolled and tied.  All in a gold bag with her treasure box from the dentist.

The letter had a wax seal with a rose. 

 

She carried the bag around with her til I said to put it in her box so it wouldn't get lost.

We headed to our neighbors for a playdate to celebrate.  She is all about marketing.  This is actually her new backpack for Kindergarten.

Then we headed to the Imaginarium at the Anchorage Museum to play...for 4 hours.  We had lunch too at the museums cafe "the Muse" where the first picture was taken.  I looked up and took the pic thinking ... where did the time go?

Time for a cupcake.

We have picked our last rhubarb and now onto our raspberry patch.  Next...a Rhubarb Custard Bar recipe that Amelia inhaled and the preparation for Kindergarten has begun.
