First Loose Tooth







Shaylee has been trying all year to have a loose tooth. All her friends have lost a tooth and she really wanted to lose one. Everyday she would ask us if it is was more loose and everyday we would tell her not yet. It started getting more loose so she asked Daniel to pull it out. He told her she would have to do it on her own. Last Sunday she really wanted it to come out. Blake and Shaylee started fighting so I sent them to their rooms. In about Two Minutes Shaylee came downstairs screaming that her tooth came out. I just thought she was trying to get out of timeout, which she probably was. She actually did pull that sucker out and she was quite excited. She had to call everyone she knew because this is a huge day in a young girls life. We put the tooth under her pillow and waited to see if the Tooth Fairy would come to visit. The next morning Shaylee came running down the stairs telling us that the Tooth Fairy was here. Then she told me that the Tooth Fairy needed her teeth because she had a child and had to have enough teeth to stick them in her childs mouth. It makes sense, well at least to a six year old. She felt good that now a little baby had her tooth. Then of course we had to go shopping and spend our four quarters, because that is more than one dollar bill. Shaylee bought herself her very own gum with her tooth money. Life could not get any better.
