Toothless {Grin}

When you've been waiting an entire year for something, it deserves it's own post.  Nator lost both of her front teeth within the same week; however, Gracie's story is a bit different.

She has always done things her own way.  We figured this out when the induction didn't go as planned.  She decided her own birthday.

She lost one front tooth a year ago, and the other one has {literally} hung on for dear life an. entire. year.

Our dentist says there's supposed to be an order to losing teeth, but sometimes things happen a lil' out of the ordinary.  

That's okay, too.

My theory must have been correct.  Since she lost one incisor last week, she had more wiggle room!  While eating a banana nut Vita Top, it nearly popped out.  Gracie ran to me, watery-eyed, while fanning her face rapidly with her hands.  She had sort of a nervous, light-headed, this is kinda freakin' me out, excited, emotional roller coaster reaction of sorts... yet, remained calm.  I could see that the tooth was poking out in an unnatural manner, so I barely touched it when she asked me to wiggle it. 

I said, "I think you can pull it out.  I bet the Tooth Fairy will be making a visit tonight."  The next thing I see?  She touched it slightly pulled and Wah-lah!!

 

When I was her age, the Tooth Fairy brought what seemed like pocket change.  That must be quite heavy.

Now?  She brings $3 per tooth!  

This makes two weeks in a row.

I think I know who I'm hanging out with this weekend

 

I told her that she must stop wiggling all teeth for now or I may have to resort to blending her food first.  I think she agreed that eggs and pancakes would not be as appetizing through a straw. ;)

Friends of ours have a Tooth Fairy that brings $5 per tooth. 
Wow.
How much does your Tooth Fairy bring?
