The tooth fairy's first visit

After much anticipation and wiggling, Sonia finally lost her first tooth (one of the middle teeth on the bottom). Tragically, she now has a matching gap to the naturally occurring space between her two front teeth on the top, but we can only hope that eventually the tooth fairy will come to claim those as well.

For the record, the tooth fairy brought Sonia $5 for her first lost tooth (TBD if that figure holds constant for future teeth) as well as a book about herself. Apparently, the tooth fairy collects the teeth and builds furniture and other things for castles in her magical world.  Kind of like that throne made out of swords on Game of Thrones, but this one is made of baby teeth. Who knew?
