Gigi lost her first baby tooth!
Gigi just lost her first tooth and was so excited she posed with this silly face while the hole in her mouth was still bleeding. She is such a goofball, and such a joy - she makes me laugh all the time. This morning under her pillow she found a Sacagawea dollar. Gigi then asked where the tooth fairy came from, and does the tooth fairy visit children all over the world? Hmmm...good question. It seems that in Europe long ago there was a tradition to bury baby teeth that fell out and it is from this tradition that the Tooth Fairy evolved from the tooth mouse depicted in an 18th century French language fairy tale. In "La Bonne Petite Souris," a mouse changes into a fairy to help a good queen defeat an evil king by hiding under his pillow to torture him and knocking out all his teeth. I wish I knew the tradition of the tooth fairy in Georiga.
