The Tooth Fairy saves a trip

So Evan has had his first loose tooth for well over a month and a half since we thought it would fall out by his birthday which was August 13th. Sunday, two days ago, Austin said he thinks he has a loose tooth. Then he comes home from school Monday and had lost his first molar! Needless to say Evan was more than a little jealous. So he keeps twisting and turning all afternoon but to no avail. Finally as he's headed off to bed and knowing that The Tooth Fairy is already coming tonight for Austin's first molar, he got brave and gave it a big tug! It went flying and got lost in the carpet as Evan starts crying because it hurt and he's bleeding and trying to find his treasured tooth in our tooth colored carpet. Poor guy. I sent him with Dad to rinse his mouth while I combed the floor. Nothing. Evan and Dad came back and started helping. Then I felt it. A hard little something in the carpet. Evan's first lost tooth. He was so excited and relieved. He even came back out of bed to tell me "Thank you for finding my tooth mom!" So two teeth sat on the boys' night stand last night and two boys both got a dollar in the morning, and The Tooth Fairy got to save on gas! The End.

  1. Is this the age for losing teeth? Brandon hasn't lost one yet!

  2. Cierra just lost her first the other day. She pulled it out in church. Funny thing is she lost hers too and we never found it, but the tooth fairy is pretty forgiving for the first teeth!
