Lost My First Tooth

We had to interrupt travel blogs temporarily to let everyone see that Priya has lost her first tooth! Not sure if you can tell from the photos, but any minute now she is also going to loose her second tooth. Although the custom here in India is to bury baby teeth in the garden, Priya stuck with US tradition and put her tooth under her pillow last night - and was amply rewarded by the tooth fairy, who managed to find her here in Chennai.

I'll bet when the tooth fairy comes to Chennai, s/he makes the traditional reward, and then deposits the precious baby tooth in one of the amazing gardens you've photographed. That must explain the beautiful flora!

Hi all-There is someone else reading and certainly enjoying all your blogs! It's the only way to stay in touch. I'm real glad that the tooth fairy did find Priya-I had no doubt;and priya, you look so very cute with your missing tooth (teeth)!!! Your vacations are certainly amazing-the amazing scenery and wonderful customs-what a joy and experience gor Priya & Ashwin. Prabhu must be so proud to be able to share his customs with his kids! We're so happy for you all but still miss you all a lot!!! Love to all- Pat, Jack, Mandy & Sam xoxoxo

Jenny lost her first tooth on the top last week, we'll email you a picture of it soon. We went to a UMaine hockey game last night and one of the players had the same tooth missing as Jen!!! Congrats to you Priya. We are proud of you. Aunt Leslee

Wow, Priya! Congratulations! That tooth fairy is one smart cookie for finding you all the way over in India :)
