The first tooth falls
The Tooth Fairy visited our house for the first time, night before last:

Luckily, her grandpa had just come back from vacation, and stopped by to say hello. He used some crazy sleight-of-hand trick to get out the tooth, flicking it up and out of her mouth as soon as his finger touched it. (It was like a kung-fu movie where the wizened old master barely touches the young student and flips him ass-over-teakettle.) I *have* to learn that before the next loose one is ready to come out.
(In anticipation of the big event, we've been getting lobbied for weeks with reports of the market rate for lost teeth. Mmm-hmmm...)
