My oldest baby (5.5) just lost her first tooth and I'm not ok

Our oldest girl, 5.5y, just lost her bottom middle front tooth and has the grown one coming up behind. I swear I've always told myself I wouldn't be a big wuss when it comes to parenting and my kids growing up - but ever since having them, some of what I *thought* I wouldn't be totally flopped. I'm 110% overprotective, 110% a helicopter mom, and 2000% a big ol baby when it comes to huge milestones that make me remember, "oh crap my baby isn't a baby anymore."

That baby? Shes 5. Full sentences, a bright and full personality, a sparkle in her eye, full of ferocity and energy, an amazing big sister... I could go on and on and on. Because I remember when that 5 year old WAS a baby. So new, just like we were to being parents - the sweetest little face, the soft coos and the scrunches, the curled up little baby in a fluffy bear onesie.

I am definitely crying over this.

Thank you for reading this far 😭😭
