Another One Gone

Allee had a loose tooth for months. It was really driving her (and me) crazy, but every time I would try to wiggle it, she would complain it hurt and that was then end of our wiggling fun. On March 4th I picked her up from school and she was proudly holding a Ziploc baggie with her tooth inside. She told me how she had complained to her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Johnson about it hurting and so Mrs. Johnson sent her to the teacher affectionately known as, "The Tooth Fairy". One twist and pull later Allee had that pesky tooth out. She was completely excited.
The next week we bought the book Silverlicious, and she was thrilled to find out that the tooth she lost was the same one Pinkalicious lost. It was a very exciting moment for Allee.
Unfortunately the tooth fairy was busy that Friday night, you know she really has a lot to do! Allee woke up crying because the tooth fairy hadn't taken the tooth out of her special tooth pillow. After some explaining of just how busy the tooth fairy is, and using examples from Silverlicious (if you haven't read it, do! It is so cute) we calmed her down. Sure enough Saturday night the tooth fairy made her appearance and left Allee two whole dollars!
