The Tooth Fairy Comes Tonight

My sweet baby girl lost her very first tooth today. Did I see this coming? No. Does my heart ache a little to see that the sweet baby girl I brought home from the hospital five years ago grow up? Yes. In an instant that beautiful dimpled smile of hers has turned into an even more beautiful and adorable dimpled smile with one little bottom tooth missing. Is it possible to become cuter after losing your very first tooth? Absolutely.
I was in the kitchen fixing lunch, Bo was chomping away on his food in his highchair. I was about to call Brooke down from her room to eat when I hear whimpering coming from the top stairs. "Mom, I fell."
I could sense that this was not the dramatic I'm dying because I got hurt cry, it was more of a worried cry. I comfort her, ask her if she hurt anywhere and she stated her mouth hurt a little. She opens up her mouth and to my shock her bottom tooth (she previously knocked loose a few months ago) was missing. Trying to remain calm while my brain was freaking out screaming "she must have swallowed it" I say with a nervous smile "Brookie your tooth is gone." She replies with "I know, I put it under my pillow. I tripped in my room and fell and it came out."
So we walk upstairs find the missing tooth under her pillow. She was upset but it helped her a ton to see Bryan and I so excited for her and doting over her new even more adorable than before smile. Shes more than excited for the Tooth Fairy to leave her a dollar under her pillow tonight.
While I was all smiles today to comfort my sweet princess, it was hard to hold back my tears for her sake. To see this new toothless smile, made my heart ache. My little girl is growing up...way too fast.
