Did that just happen?
By Moriah on November 30th, 2009
Drew lost his very first tooth on Saturday night. It’s been loose for a while and when he brushed his teeth that night I noticed it was nearly out. I made sure he knew to give it to me and not to swallow it. (Ew.) He came bopping out of bed much later and had it in his hand.
“I pulled it out myself AND IT DIDN’T EVEN HURT!!!”
So then he put it in a baggie (quart-sized, what in the world?) and I told him to stick it under his pillow. I almost forgot to go get it but managed to fulfill my duties as tooth fairy. My dad commented on the inflation — he only got a quarter (I think I did, too) and we gave Drew a whole dollar.
(Which, of course, he’s been begging ever since to go to the store to buy another matchbox car.)
One of the funniest parts of the whole ordeal was when Madeline realized Drew got money for his tooth. “Mom? Can you help me get my teeth out?”
Yes, she did.
And I’m trying to figure out how it is that I have a child old enough to be losing teeth.

Maybe the Tooth Fairy in your house will be better than the one here. She’s woefully fallen down on the job a number of times. These new stages creep up fast don’t they?
Wow, he does seem young to be starting all that!
And so it begins! :)
Daegan hit himself in the face with one of my 3 lbs. weight to see if he could rid himself of one.
True confession. Due to our distinct anti-union policies(we refuse to let the kids organize), the tooth fairy has boycotted this house permanently. Call me calloused or cheap. Poor things.
I love playing tooth fairy. I still remember waking up to $$$ and sweets (how ironic right? candy for losing teeth)
