The Tooth Fairy Visits

Last Sunday, Connor lost his first tooth. It had been hanging by a thread for quite some time, and Sunday, it finally popped out. :)



Here's a picture of his toothless mouth:

On this same day, Connor was also running a fever and was not feeling very well. So, in this photo it is apparent that he just isn't into the whole "capturing the moment" thing. However, as his mother, I persisted. Who doesn't find it important to document the first "putting my tooth under my pillow for the tooth fairy" experience? He'll thank me later, I'm sure. ;)

The tooth fairy did indeed come and left Connor $1.00 for his tooth. He has since argued the EVERYONE else gets $5.00 for each lost tooth, although he is unable to site exactly who this is that has received that hefty a sum for their pearly white. Gotta love a guy for trying.

Kylee, on the other hand, wanted assurance that the tooth fairy was NOT going to come into her room. The whole notion freaked her out entirely. Although, since seeing Connor's reward, she now tells us that when she loses her first tooth (convinced it will be any day now), she's going to leave her window open so the tooth fairy can for sure get in.

We enter another phase of development....is our oldest REALLY going to turn 7 in June?

I love this story! Specifically because we had to have this same conversation with Ryleigh Saturday night. I told mom we had the Kylee Carlson refusal of the tooth fairy. We finally convinced her with a new toothbrush she could take to school and show her friends!
