Childhood brings the opportunity for parents to create so many magical moments for their kids, and it sounds like Meghan Markle isn’t taking any of them for granted. In a new interview, not only did Meghan reveal that Prince Archie has lost his first tooth, but she also shared what their family’s version of the Tooth Fairy is like. This must have been so exciting for him!
Archie is at a prime age for losing teeth.
Now that he’s 6 years old, this is the time in childhood when kids start losing baby teeth left and right, and Archie is no exception.
According to what Meghan told Fast Company, he hit this milestone very recently, and she got to play Tooth Fairy for the very first time. In their house, that meant leaving some money and a toy dinosaur under his pillow.
She didn’t mind being woken up to hear her son’s big news.
Archie was so pumped about losing his tooth that he wanted to tell his mom right away, which meant that he woke her up at 2 a.m. – not that Meghan minded, especially for a special occasion like this one.
“I had a lot of business meetings the next morning, but I still chose to cuddle with him the rest of the night,” she told the news outlet. “Those mom moments energize me to be a better founder, a better employer, a better boss.”
It seems the family knew this was coming soon.
When Meghan spoke at the TIME100 Summit in New York back in April, she mentioned that Archie was just about to lose his very first tooth, predicting that it would happen sometime that week.
“[It’s] about to happen, and I just hope I’m back home in time for it!” she said at the time, according to People.
Meghan has been open about balancing working mom life.
During an episode of her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast that aired in April, Meghan described being a working mom as “incredibly overwhelming.”
“With that comes the woman who is juggling it all and doing it all from home, being confident enough to tell the truth about what’s going on – because you can’t give grace to someone in the same way if you just have no sense of it,” she said. “My kids, for example, right now, one has RSV, the other has influenza A. I hear a little pitter patter of feet upstairs, home from school, you know, cough syrup all night and rubbing the back and … we still find a way to show up for both.”
