About a month ago Pippa had her first crash and ended up knocking three front teeth loose. There was a lot of blood and tears, to be sure, but it soon turned into a very frank and probing discussion about the tooth fairy and whether she delivers just money or also toys.


While I thought the loosest tooth would come out that night, it ended up taking nearly six weeks before it was finally loose enough this weekend for me to pull it out (and even then, it took another knock, this time her teeth against the scooter handlebars). The tooth fairy did indeed deliver money and also left a small bag of fairy dust, which looks suspiciously like glitter, so that was a nice bonus.
