My daughter’s first tooth fell out today. Boy, wouldn’t it have been cute to have one of these little pillows for her to put it in for the tooth fairy?
Well, too bad for her, because we didn’t. Her tooth is wrapped in a tissue, sealed in a plastic baggy. I know, I know, there goes my mother of the year award nomination, again.
