Loosey Toothy

Paige's teacher Mrs. Davis tricked Paige into twisting her first loose tooth out the other day.  Mrs. Davis is lucky that Paige is the second child because I was a little annoyed she got to see Paige's look of surprise and shock and I missed it! I think if she had been my first, I may have been a little more than annoyed.  I asked her to re-create her look of surprise for the camera.  She's such a little actress...



They let her go down to the office and call home to tell us the exciting news and gave her this cute little tooth necklace to keep her tooth in.

I have a cute little tooth fairy pillow that you put your tooth in for the tooth fairy but I was too late.  Paige had already put the lone tooth under her pillow and somehow lost it in a matter of a few minutes.  We searched high and low with a flashlight but couldn't find it.  She was so upset and was worried the tooth fairy wouldn't come.  (I'm surprised she even believes in the tooth fair after the whole leprechaun, Easter Bunny and Santa Claus fiasco).  Her first idea was that she could smile in her sleep so the tooth fairy could see her lost tooth.  She quickly figured out that wasn't going to work.  Her next idea was to tape her mouth open...

She soon realized this wasn't going to work either.  We convinced her that she could leave a note for the tooth fairy and she might let her off just this once since it was her first lost tooth and she didn't really know how to handle such a small thing.  She finally agreed and went to bed.  The tooth fairy did cut her a break and left her 2 dollars!  What a nice tooth fairy.
