The Road to Toofdom

More exciting than political philosphy - K has lost her first tooth! The process started a long month ago with a mere wiggle with a finger, and the journey ended last night with the discovery that her tooth was indeed OUT, in her mouth, which she promptly spit into her hand. No pulling required. I am thankful that I don't have to look at that dangling little thing protruding from her bottom jaw anymore. She is thankful for the four one-dollar bills the tooth fairy left under her pillow.

The Tooth Fairy is Coming

The other day at breakfast, K was touching her bottom teeth with her pointer finger. I jokingly asked, "What, you have a loose tooth?" Her eyes got so big, she didn't even need to respond. Her front bottom two teeth were wiggling!

In preparation for the lovely tooth fairy herself, I made this little pillow to keep the teeth in when they do decide to come out. It isn't fancy.... In fact, in trying to make it fancy with ric-rac around the pocket, I completely messed it up. However, I doubt the tooth fairy will mind :)

Confession, 8/6/09

I used my daughter's Nemo toothpaste last night, just 'cause. Sparkly Grape = Gross. Oh, and I thought I had appendicitis at 4 a.m. Don't think they were related.....
