Gigi’s tooth came out yesterday under the hand of her brave mommy. Three tugs from Tami was all it took to uproot that little chicklet and herald a whole new age in for the Littlejohnesque narrative.

Gigi slept with her tooth under the pillow and a note for the fairy NOT to take her tooth (but it was OK to leave cash anyway). By 8:00 this morning I was already on my knees crawling around looking for a tooth that was lost somewhere while she was marching around with it triumphantly. We found it (fear not Tooth Fairy). I think the Tooth Fairy takes those little gobs of calcium not just for the child’s sake but for the grown-ups, as well.
