After lunch on Thursday 8th January 2009, Ayla our almost 6 year old, lost her first tooth! And didn’t it just bring tears to my eyes as I realized how fast she has grown!
For the last couple of months, we have watched that tooth start to wobble and then wobble away to the point it started to sit at right angles.
Les, ever the wonderful husband and father, took a closer look. He managed to knock the tooth and cause it to bleed, so he grabbed a tissue to wipe away the blood. As he wiped Ayla’s lip, the tooth came away!!!
Now, my oldest daughter has a huge gap that she is very proud of. But not 
after some tears at the amount of blood! The prospect of the Tooth Fairy coming to visit soon put an end to that, as did me wanting to take some photos.
The Tooth Fairy has been, leaving a shiny $2 coin in the special little tooth pouch. Ayla however was rather upset that the Tooth Fairy didn’t take her first tooth. Les calmly explained that the Tooth Fairy always leaves the first tooth behind, as it is very special.
Enjoy the pics, and I’ll keep you updated on how the rest go. The next one already looks like it is loose so should only be a matter of a few weeks.
