It’s inevitable, a sign of growing up and a sign my baby is no longer a baby.
On Friday Emmy came home saying her tooth hurt her. After much persuasion I managed to get a glimpse and we discovered a wobbly tooth.
Then of course the tears came as she didn’t like it and didn’t want it to be wobbly.
It’s a strange feeling a wobbly tooth, I remember myself when I was young, the inability to stop playing with it, having to wobble it, poking it with your tongue and not wanting to eat anything hard.
A dose of Calpol and an easy to eat tea of fish pie and it was soon forgotten.
It was only when brushing her teeth at bedtime tonight we discovered this….
My big girl has lost her very first tooth at the age of 5, and it really is lost! It may have been the Apple for pudding tonight but it’s gone.
We’ve written the Tooth Fairy a letter and a very excited girl has just gone to sleep after declaring she was staying up all night for a glimpse of the Fairy.
Thank goodness she was very tired.
That’s another milestone checked off our list and my baby is getting big.

I hope the tooth fairy has been generous!
Awwwww what a milestone – I bet you felt emotional! I heard the tooth fairy tips big these days 😉 Charlotte x
Oh no…. not lost! Save the next one and pretend it was the first.lol
Awwww Isaac is desperate to loose his first tooth but they are wedged in nicely
Ah, bless! That is a milestone indeed.x
Aww bless! I hate wobby teeth, they make me feel nauseous when my kids wobble them at me – but I do love a gappy grin!
love a toothless grin. I've just done a tooth fairy fail but managed to recover the following *phew*
aww exciting we have got to the stage were tooth that have come out have got lost before they have made it under the pillow! bad parenting!
I hope the tooth fairy was generous as it was the first loss 😉 x
Toothy grins are the cutest! What a huge milestone to reach. I teach 7 and 8 year olds who are constantly showing me their wobbly teeth!
Awww, how exciting…I hope the tooth fairy came.
aw , i actually remember losing my first tooth all excited to put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy then in all the excitement i lost it down a drain running home , x
Bless her! I remember losing my first tooth, I hated it! xxx
Emmy loved showing all her friends today
Maxi tends to swallow his. We have had to leave IOU it is in my poo messages for the tooth fairy on numerous occasions
Omg jen I'm laughing so hard right now 😉
We have nearly lost teeth a couple of times, but so far we have managed to get them all without them being swallowed. H lost one on the rugby pitch (not because of the game) and one at school.
Wow I'd hate to have to find on a field
Oh bless her, it's such a milestone isn't it. My eldest lost her two bottom teeth last month and was chuffed to pieces xx
Bless, it's a special one that's for sure
Eek I remember losing my first tooth – I think my Mum kept them for a while, then I found them and couldn't understand why haha! x
I was the same when I found my old ones lol
That's a lovely photo, I still have all my sons teeth and he's 18 now.
That's lovely
Wow that is really young! Mind you, we are the opposite end of the spectrum with baby teeth getting pulled at 16 as they were not coming out!!
I know, only the second in her class. Her friends are jealous lol. Wow and ouch!
I have a little silver box with all my kids first teeth in it. A real milestone for Emmy, I hope the tooth fairy delivered. #MagicMoments
So cute. Paul's mum still has all theirs
Kaycee was really upset when she lost one of her teeth at school. She didn't believe me that the tooth fairy would still leave her some money. She was very relived when she found the pound the next day!
Bless her. It didn't occur to Emmy she may not get her reward thankfully
