Mia finally lost her first tooth. All her classmates and friends have lost several teeth by now, but Mia's have been clinging on until today. Last night she bit into an ear of corn and it dislodged it for the most part, but she knew that if the tooth fell out at school she would get a special ring that opened up for tooth storage to wear for the rest of the day. So, she waited it out and sure enough the tooth came out at school today. I asked her to tell me what happened and this is the story I got.
"Well, I asked if I could go to the bathroom and I went to the bathroom. And I pooped. And I washed my hands and then I stuck my hand in there and wiggled it around and then I just twisted it and it came out."
I was happy that she included the part about washing her hands. :)
She was pretty excited and said she couldn't wait to go to sleep so that the Tooth Fairy could come. Apparently Kendra aka Keke told her that one time the Tooth Fairy brought her a whole bag of toys. I told her that was not usual and that she would probably get a quarter or a dollar or something. It was pretty cute seeing how excited she was. I was excited too cause it seems like we've been waiting on loose teeth forever now, but now that it's happened I'm a little sad. It's just another reminder that my little baby girl really is growing up. Tonight she said she didn't want to grow up and I of course told her that she didn't have to. Yea!
Now, for the disturbing part. A little recap of our bedtime conversation.
"Santiago in school, he said he has a friend who thinks I'm hot."
"What?"
"Santiago's friend said he thinks I'm hot."
"That doesn't make sense. Are you food?"
a little giggle. "No, it means like beautiful or pretty."
I'm thinking "seriously? at age 6? this is starting already? HOT? is someone seriously using that word to describe my sweet little baby girl?" But what I said was more like "well. That's not really a kid word. Next time why don't you tell him that doesn't make any sense and did he maybe mean that you were pretty. and then say thank you."
She agreed with me and wondered why they would use that word to describe a pretty girl when it really only has one meaning - that being hot as in fire or a stove. Then she wondered if maybe Santiago's friend could have been eighteen cause then he wouldn't really be a kid and he could use the word. I just changed the subject. She's a baby and babies are not "hot." Oh, this world we live in. Sometimes I want to give it a good slap. :)
So, right now Mia is drifting off to sleep with hopes of waking up with money under her pillow for her very first lost tooth. Sweet dreams Mia!

Wow, "good legs" and "hot" both during the age of 6. . .you guys are going to have your hands full! She's such a sweetie and the boys are on to something, she is beautiful!
AGH! Shouldn't there be a warning on such a graphic post? I got seriously light-headed reading about Mia's tooth. ;-)
The little boy who thinks Mia is 'hot' probably has older siblings. It's impossible to entirely shield the younger sibs from the older ones. Plus, most people don't shield their children from TV like our family and most our friends do -- so chalk it up to this sinking ship of a world that refuses to let children be children. I say homeschool them all!
