Baggy, that's so lovely. My mother didn't keep anything of ours - she wasn't that sort of mum. It's only a few years since I passed over to my youngest the letter he wrote to the tooth fairy when he lost a tooth at school!
My eldest, Mandy, is now Head of Musical Theatre at the Fermanagh School of Performing Arts. So proud of my girl - we always knew her incredible voice and perfect pitch would send her to the right place eventually.
Millie has been waiting for a tooth to come out for a couple of weeks. Yesterday she and Debs were play fighting and the tooth finally succumbed. Millie was so happy she burst into tears and sobbed for five whole minutes. That child is too emotional by half! 😥💕
What's the going rate for the tooth fairy these days? It seemed to vary quite considerably when I taught in primary school and loose teeth were a regular distraction.
I bought a coffee table book years ago of baby photos by Anne Geddes... babies in flower pots, babies in pumpkins, babies dressed up as all sorts. So lovely.
I am indeed. You youngsters have yet to discover how dearly one can love a grandchild. Not more than your own children, never that, but just as much in a subtly different way. 💓
After hearing Grandad felt 'strange' last night, Millie described her own unwell moment last week. She said she woke up and felt a sensation of 'rushing' inside. This apparently was followed by her being sick. Great choice of words!
After trapping her finger in the car door last week, Millie 's nail is about to come off. ' I'm going to keep it and study it,' she said. 'Yuxk!' said mum. Quick as a flash, 'Or the Nail Fairy could buy it.' 'There isn't a Nail Fairy.' 'How do you know?'
Don't!! I suggested that a Nail Fairy would rapidly run out of money as people are cutting their nails constantly, but Millie said the NF would only come for whole nails. 10\10 for quick thinking 🤣

Why did she take it down? PG?

I mean she was great. As well as being grandparent to my children and children of my nieces and nephews.
Not a day goes without me having some thought about her.
It's 6 years since she was this small.
