Guess what's missing?

This actually happened a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't even think about posting about it, so I'm doing it now. Better late than never, right? Eliza lost her first tooth! This is a very big deal when you're six. She actually held on to it for a couple of days just so that she could show it off. Truth be told, I don't think she could bear to part with her first tiny baby tooth and would have gladly forfeited the tooth fairy money. Unfortunately, she ended up losing the tooth somewhere around the house and was quite devastated. The tooth fairy graciously left her a dollar after her sister helped her compose a note explaining the whole situation. I think she is still holding onto the hope that the tooth fairy will let her keep her next tooth and, hopefully, next time she can hold on to it!

Note: For those of you who might find this information useful, I suggest using a small Ziploc baggie, NOT an envelope to store those tiny baby teeth. This was a hard lesson to learn after Eliza's experience and after crawling on the floor many a time looking for teeth that Emma had dropped somewhere in that darn shaggy carpet!
