The Tooth Fairy Has Come!

Exciting news everyone.....we got a visit from the tooth fairy last night and she left three WHOLE dollars! That's right, Alex lost her very first baby tooth after much angst, waiting, and excitement for the big day to happen.

That little girl was in the bathroom staring at her tooth, wiggling it, and soaking up the blood ALL day on Sunday. I just thought to myself...well...I guess this is what I have to look forward to in the teen years. She went through an ENTIRE box of Kleenex, apparently blotting blood from the offending tooth, rolled them up and made a big ol pile on the bathroom counter...ew.

But yesterday around 10 in the morning, her teacher called to tell me she had some "exciting" news and to call her back. So I got to talk to the proud new little toothless wonder and sound and act AMAZED that it finally happened to her.

She now thinks eating is cool and can shove food through the gap, plus she got money for her ordeal. And of course because of inflation and it being her very fist tooth and all, we gave her 3 bucks.

She is truly happy right now.
