![]() ![]() Again, she wrote a letter for the tooth fairy and drew a picture of her tooth on the pizza. Luckily, she realised before she accidentally ate this additional crunchy topping. The second tooth fell out on top of her pizza one tea time a couple of weeks later. I’d double-checked the going rate among our friends to make sure we were consistent and apparently it’s £2 for the first tooth and £1 for the others. She wrapped it in a tissue, wrote a note and drew a picture for the tooth fairy – and was rewarded in the morning with a shiny £2 coin. ![]() Not easy with three kids, including a wriggly toddler, in the bath. Thankfully, I swished my hands around in the water and managed to find it. Having spent every day for weeks wondering if today would be the day she could put it under the pillow for the tooth fairy, she was hysterical at the thought it was lost. It all seemed in such contrast to her baby brother, Toddler Boy I, who was rapidly gaining his baby teeth. I, however, really wasn’t ready for this next stage and found it all quite emotional. I didn’t believe her at first as I thought she was far too young for wobbly teeth – but I had a feel and there was definite movement. Her first one started wobbling pretty much as soon as she turned five.

When you’re between the ages of five and eight, wobbly teeth are a big deal. It’s the same at her after-school activities. Most mornings at drop off, one of her little friends will run up to me to show me a tooth hanging on by a thread or a big gap where a milk tooth once was. The big talk of the playground for Little Miss E and her friends is wobbly teeth and visits from the tooth fairy. ![]()
