A few nights ago, our oldest daughter excited declared she had a loose tooth. I brushed her off, explaining her teeth weren't ready to be loose yet and leave it alone. She persisted, I persisted and she finally explained she wanted the tooth fairy to visit. So I told her that her big teeth aren't ready to grow in yet and that the tooth fairy doesn't visit if you pull out your baby teeth before they are ready. She relented, leaving it alone but asking that I call the tooth fairy and ask how old she has to be before the tooth fairy can visit. I agreed to call and ask.
But I forgot. So when she asked again the next day, I pulled out my phone to google at what age children begin losing their teeth. Much to my surprise, it is in fact ages 5-6! How can she be so big already?! So I told her I found the answer and that the tooth fairy can start visiting once a child starts kindergarten (I'm hoping to buy a little time, especially if she is trying to force a tooth before it's ready). Seeing my phone she said "I bet the tooth fairy texted you didn't she?"
Who knew the tooth fairy had become so tech savvy?
And why is my little girl growing so fast?
