Andrew's LOST tooth - PART II

Just a little update... The Tooth Fairy did come after all! We woke up yesterday to find that she had left a dollar for Andrew in place of his note. A DOLLAR! I don't think I ever got more than a quarter for my teeth! It's inflation, Bryan says.

When we went to Costco last week, we asked Andrew what he would do if the Tooth Fairy left him a dollar. He answered immediately that he would buy a churro at the Costco snack bar. A little bit later he said, "I thought I wanted to buy a churro, but now that I see all the things that I could buy, I don't know what to get!" then he sighed, "Ugh! I guess that's just the way life is!" I had to giggle a little bit at that - How true that is!!! --Summer

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
