She had a very loose tooth that she had been wiggling during January. Then she got sick and started puking her guts out. Her dad and I told her if the tooth fell out while she was throwing up that we weren't going to fish it out of the toilet. I left the room for a minute. When I came back, she was holding the tooth in her hand with big wide eyes. I think she was worried if the tooth went down the toilet the Tooth Fairy wouldn't come. Poor girl!
She was ecstatic the next morning to find that the Tooth Fairy left her a whole dollar! This was quite the increase from the first visit from the tooth fairy last year when she knocked her front tooth out. The Tooth Fairy left her a quarter and a treat, which I thought was very generous. But the other kids at school were bragging about the "paper money" that they got. The going rate at their school is between $1 and $2 for each tooth, and cousin Kara got $2 for her tooth as well. Brayden and Makenzie both wanted to know why this was. So, the Tooth Fairy had to raise rates at our house. I'm curious. . .how much does your Tooth Fairy bring?
Makenzie lost another tooth at school when she bit into her snack, another at home just from wiggling it, and then the dentist decided to pull the fourth one on the bottom in order to give a little more room to her very crooked permanent teeth, hoping that they would grow a little less crooked. (Wish the Tooth Fairy would leave a little extra for Mom and Dad to pay for braces with!)
Meanwhile, Brayden is still patiently waiting for his first tooth to fall out. Makenzie keeps giving hie twinsightful advice like "wiggle it more" and "eat something sticky" but nothing has worked yet. We just might have to get the piers out before long!
