Finally her turn!

Charlotte has been asking me for MONTHS to feel if any of her teeth were wiggly.  It is a little distressing when you are the only one in your kindergarten class who didn't lose a tooth.  And with first grade only a few days away, she was getting a little anxious.  Even though I told her I thought they were getting more wiggly, inside I was concerned that we were still MONTHS away from the first Tooth Fairy visit.

Then - out of nowhere - Charlotte comes to me and says, "I think my tooth is super wiggly right now!" And sure enough, it was!  So we grabbed some gauze (which my kids think is necessary when pulling out teeth, thanks to the Berenstein Bears book), and I got ready to start yanking.  Scott then said, "Wait!  let me go get my iPod so I can take a video!" I said sure, and figured I would start trying to pull it out, since Scott's teeth always take multiple attempts.  But with the first little tug, it popped right out!  I wish you could have witnessed the pure, raw emotion Charlotte felt at that moment...  But since I was lame and didn't wait for Scott, the moment passed.  Not only do I not have record of it, but Scott was ticked at me for at least 24 hours.

That girl was in bed within a few minutes, knowing she needed to get to sleep before the Tooth Fairy came.  Why can my kids lose teeth every night?  But did you know the Tooth Fairy can do Origami?  She made 2 super cute hearts out of $1 bills.  But Charlotte was not impressed -- she just wanted the cash.  I'll let the Tooth Fairy know for next time.

Here is the one video I did get...  Unfortunately there wasn't much enthusiasm left after calling to tell Daddy and Grandma.
