it had to happen

my younger daughter has started losing her baby teeth. she is no longer a baby. sigh. though i appreciate the decrease in labor intensity that having children instead of toddlers or babies implies, i do miss the cuddliness of that era.
plus, it makes me feel old.

p.s. she actually swallowed her 2nd tooth. she was eating a piece of pumpkin pie, and it came out. she thought it was a nut in the pie, and swallowed it, so we had to write the tooth fairy a note. tooth fairy almost forgot to give her any money, but tooth fairy's dad reminded her about midnight.
