A bit of a milestone.......

My big boy lost a tooth a little while back, it came out
one sunny afternoon, whilst biting into a juicy peach.....


It really feels as though we are on the cusp of a new phase of

childhood. There is a sense of excitement at the fresh

journey ahead....and a feeling of such melancholy at all

that has already passed.

The tooth was duly hidden under his pillow

at bedtime, snug and secure in a tiny Indian

pot. And of course the tooth fairy didn't

disappoint.......magically in the morning the

tooth was gone, and in its place was the

shiniest gold coin we have ever seen and

two tiny crystals.
