Lost

Reagan lost her 3rd tooth Wednesday afternoon.  When I went to camp to pick Reagan up and take her to a friend's birthday party, she was eating lunch.  After a few bites, she looked up at me and said, "I lost my tooth and it's bleeding."  The next comment was, "now I can't eat any cake."  I assured her that she had all the teeth she needed to eat cake and she would be fine!    

the new smile

She's still beautiful

the next morning, the tooth fairy had left Reagan her tooth (as requested), ten dollars (yes, $10), and a toothbrush ~ all on the table as Reagan specified in her note

Finding her loot (gotta love the bed-head!)

Let's go shopping

She has two more teeth that are really wiggly ~ it may be an expensive month for the tooth fairy!

Lost...Again

While swimming tonight, Reagan pulled out her 2nd tooth. It had been really loose for a while now and Greg and I told her she needed to pull it at home rather than it fall out at camp in the foam pit or the pool and be lost forever. She got brave tonight and pulled it herself!

The new smile

still as sweet as ever!
Close up ~ you can see her 1st "big tooth" coming in on the left and the new space on the right

Here's the note to the tooth fairy:

Tooth Fairy,

I want 2 presents. One for pulling my own tooth and $11 for the tooth. Don't take the tooth.

You are a good tooth fairy.

Love,

Reagan

She has very high expectations for the tooth fairy!! We'll see if the tooth fairy comes through!

Lost

While at church Sunday, Reagan hit another milestone ~ she lost her 1st tooth! She was eating a Rice Krispie treat and it just fell out. Literally. Onto the floor. She was hysterical, not wanting to loose any of her teeth because "the ones she has are just fine". the tooth was lost, never to be found. We thought it may have gotten thrown into the trash in the wrapper, so Greg gets the trash bag out to go through it. There must have been 20 or 30 people (some of whom I didn't even know) on their hands and knees looking for a little girl's 1st lost tooth. It really was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Reagan was devastated that she lost a tooth and wanted to hear nothing of the Tooth Fairy or getting a new big girl tooth. Finally after what seemed like 20 minutes a sweet man, who I don't even know his name, found Reagan's tooth.

The missing tooth

Look how small this tooth is!
Reagan didn't want her picture taken of her new smile. She would cover her mouth when she spoke and wants no mention of the "event" that occurred at Jesus' house. She even asked us to put a sign on the front door telling the Tooth Fairy not to stop at her house. I finally convinced (well, bribed) her to let me take one picture. Daddy made a special trip to the store for Jello Pudding Pops for his little girl's big day!

I think the new smile is just as beautiful as the old one!
