Andrew's LOST tooth

About a week ago, Andrew announced that he had his first loose tooth. It surprised me how proud and excited I was about it! (I guess it's a Mommy thing!) So he's been working hard on it everyday, trying to wiggle that tooth out! When we offered to help pull it out, he said, "I think it's better to let it come out on it's own!"

Then, this morning at breakfast, I noticed Andrew had a new little "window!" I said, "ANDREW! Where's your tooth!?" He looked at me like I was kinda crazy and said, "It's in my mouth, Mom." "Are you sure?" I asked. He ran to the mirror and came back with a look of pure horror on his face! We searched his bed, but no tooth! We finally came to the conclusion that he must have swallowed it during the night. Andrew, of course, was VERY concerned that the Tooth Fairy would not come and leave him a surprise. So we decided he'd better write a note to the Tooth Fairy, and maybe she would still come. (I helped a little with the spelling. Ü)

When we told Nana (my Mom) about what happened, she reminded me of when I was in Kindergarten and dropped my lost tooth in my 70's pink shag carpet in my bedroom. Now, this was the type of shag carpet that could eat small children, so of course, we never found my little tooth. She said I wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy and she came anyway. This comforted Andrew quite a bit! I guess we'll have to see! We'll keep you posted. --Summer
