Laura lost her first tooth! It has been loose for over a month, and it finally fell out at lunch today, after a tough battle with a corn dog.
Anna doesn't like to be left out these days, so she often just jumps right in to whatever is going on around her. She wanted to pose for a picture too, showing off her own "loose tooth".
I thought I would just slip a couple of dollars under Laura's pillow, but then she casually mentioned something about how the Tooth Fairy might leave her some jewelry. Uh oh ... I'm not real tight with the T.F., but something tells me she's not traveling with bling tonight. Doh! But thanks to a super sweet neighbor, and a little pilfering of the supplies left over from when I was a crafty girl in a previous life, we managed to set up a special surprise for the first T.F. visit.
A little matchbox turned Tooth Fairy Treasure Box, with a trail of Fairy Dust for good measure. It may not be the kind of bling Laura had in mind, but it does sparkle!
The first tooth...
