I am the tooth fairy!!


Wow.  Talk about a milestone.  My oldest child lost his first tooth this week.  He was really upset when he discovered it was loose (really loose!)  He was afraid of looking silly.  As if a missing tooth or so is going to hurt his 6.5 year-old cred.  He has been stressed out about losing teeth for about a year, ever since he realized it was going to happen to him eventually.  He cried himself to sleep the night his got loosened. 

The next day he had reconciled himself to the situation and realized how silly he had been.  Then he bit into an apple and the tooth came out and he helped me make a tooth pillow.  Then he got $5 in said pillow (first teeth are much more valuable than any others) and that REALLY cheered him up.  He hasn't spent it yet because his birthday is next month and he will probably receive a money gift or two.  $5 can go a lot further when it's teamed up with $20 or so of its fellows.

Here's the proud owner of a hole in the mouth:

I just wanted to add my two cents about this blog...it is wonderful! I knew I had a smart, creative daughter and reading about her "mundane" days fills me with a strange sort of pride. Isn't that weird? And you are welcome (about the book)...I hope it didn't take up too much of your time.:) I love you!!!! Give the babies a hug for me. God isn't good...He's GREAT!
