First one

Tucker has had a wiggly bottom tooth since Thanksgiving. Evidently, today was the day for it to come out (or get pulled out). He said that he was playing during recess at school and the tooth/gum started bleeding. His teacher sent him to the school nurse where she assisted him in pulling out the tooth. They put it in a small container so that he could get the tooth home to get ready for the tooth fairy, but somehow the tooth is now missing. Are you surprised? So, he pulled his first tooth and lost it all in the same day. He was so excited to tell me about his day when I picked him up after school. I was excited with him...a little sad that he didn't pull his tooth at home with me, but a little thankful at the same time. I am not sure how I would handle the whole tooth pulling ordeal! Looks like he has another tooth starting to get wiggly, so we may have tooth number 2 coming out soon. Now we have to write a note to the tooth fairy to explain the missing tooth. What is the going rate for a tooth from the Tooth Fairy these days?

The tooth fairy brings golden dollars to our house. Go to the bank (customer service at Tom Thumb on Lebanon has them, too) and ask for the Sacagawea dollars.

That is a great idea. Hopefully the toothfairy will take note!

The tooth fairy always brought Kelsey and Caleb a dollar or two along with a book. The tooth fairy wrote a personal message inside the book and even autographed it!
