Am I Missing Something???

I completely forgot to blog about this, it is a few weeks late but here it is anyway. About a month ago Katie discovered she had her very first loose tooth. She was beyond thrilled that she FINALLY had a tooth loose. All of her friends had either lost one or more than one so she felt left out. The excitement soon turned to a little concern as she kept asking about how we get the tooth out. She asked if we would have to pull it or if it would just fall out, if it would bleed, etc. I told we may have to pull it but not until it was really loose so that it wouldn't hurt. Every day we checked the wiggle factor, but it wasn't ready to come out yet. One day after school she was eating an apple and I was working in my office, she came running in with BIG EYES and holding her hand out and a paper towel stuff in her mouth. She said "Look, Look!!!! My tooth just fell out" The excitement in her face and her voice was a memory within itself. I think mostly because it came out without having to be pulled. It was even bleeding and she didn't panic. You have to know Katie and at the thought of blood she flips out. So the fact that she calmly got up from watching TV to go get a wet paper towel to put on her mouth before she brought the tooth to me was a big accomplishment within itself. We put the tooth in a baggie so we could put it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy to stop by. She was really worried it would get lost in her bed but I told her the TF had her ways of finding a tooth anywhere in the bed. So that night the TF fluttered in and took her first tooth away and left $2.00.  And at around 4am in the morning I heard footsteps coming into my room to let me know that the TF had made her visit.and the money she had left :)  Now almost everyday Katie asks if anymore of her teeth are loose, I think she is doing the math on the number of teeth left to come out x $2 bucks a piece. :)
