The monumental moment comes just a few days after Roc celebrated Easter with his parents and his twin sister, Monroe. "Easter with #demkids #moments #rocandroe #easter #family ??????," Carey captioned a photo of her family decorating eggs.

In an exclusive interview with ET earlier this year, Carey shared the lessons she's teaching her kids. "They work for me now," she quipped. "I had to give them jobs."

"I'm trying to instill a work ethic," she added. "I don't want them to think since they're my kids and they ... that they can just get whatever they want; do whatever they want."

Sounds like Roc might have to work for that Tooth Fairy money!
