Chelsea lost her second tooth on Sunday afternoon. Instead of a shiny gold coin, she requested (in a note to the tooth fairy) ‘a note back and some fairy dust please’.
Andy said to Chelsea: “Remember when you were little and we used to go to a cafe for a baby cino? Was it fun?” Chelsea: “Yes.” Andy: “Would you like us to do that again soon?” Chelsea stopped and looked at him, eyes rolling. “Daddy, listen. ‘Baby’ cino.”
Chelsea got her first wiggly tooth a few days before school started – it came out on 12th February, one week after her 6th birthday. (As promised! She’s been wishing for wiggly teeth since the other kids in her class got them so I told her they start coming out when you’re six. Bang on Mum.) The tooth fairy gave her a shiny gold coin – never had she seen one shinier! Magic.
‘Mummy, where’s my Milo... again?! I said please.’ ‘Sorry darling, I must be getting old and vague.’ ‘No you’re not!! You won’t be old for AGES!’ Well she said it!
Sienna doesn’t call Chelsea by her name currently, she calls her “sow-graves” (from [Chel]sea Graves). She can say Chelsea but prefers to call her by her new name. Okay…
