Wohooo Tic tac to the paddy wak! You were so determined to lose this tooth on your own terms and you did just that! At 5:30am I felt a little tap on my arm and opened my eyes to your big fat wide awake smile and sweet little toobie hand proudly holding your shiny front tooth! You were too excited to back to sleep so we got up together and watched Tall Girl on netflix while you excitedly plotted how you were going to tell the rest of the family when they woke up. One by one they came up the stairs and you gave your newly toothless smile with such pride. You already told Ghost Rusty, Flower, Pico Mountain, Meeps and basically any voice I make that you can speak to. You have been waiting for this day. You told me it is your favorite smile that you’ve had, and you think you look beautiful. Of course you do. Later that day the family had Ultimate Frisbee and you and I went to the Chinese store then walked all the way down to Porto Pim stopping to get your first toothless ice cream treat. It was freezing, you weren’t phased. We arrived at the beach both wearing brand new Chinese store Xmas stocks b/c I was 100% phased.

By the end of the day you were too tired to write the tooth fairy card so you wanted to wait until today to write it. I have a feeling she’s been waiting for this day too and you will wake up to some happy surprises tomorrow!! I love you muffin pie. So thankful to be the one sleeping right next to you, getting tapped at 5:30am and waking up to the sound of your precious excitement. You are amazing. xoxoxoxo
