As if turning 5 was not a big enough deal for this Mama, she went and lost her tooth a week later! Her other bottom front tooth is loose too and will be falling out within a few weeks. My beautiful little toothless wonder :D The tooth fairy came and visited her which of course made her whole year! Nate went to the bank and asked the teller "What is the going rate for the tooth fairy these days?" She asked if the child had been good, of course Nate said Yes! He traded a $5 bill for some beautiful Gold coins (the kind tooth fairies give out in the movies and commercials with their big bag of coins, it is much more believable that way) Then we debated on how much her tooth was worth. I initially threw out that $2 was good, we ended giving her the whole $5 worth of coins. We decided since she will lose about 16 teeth (we dont really know how many kids lose and have not "Googled" it yet) That over the next few years we can handle $5 a tooth, what a lucky little midget! I got a dollar and Nate got a Quarter when we were kids. We also told Teddi that when you lose a tooth you have to put a note on your door so that the tooth fairy knows to stop. It was Nate's idea because that way when she gets older and loses a tooth and decides not to tell us we will see the note and know that the tooth fairy has some work to do that night. We woke up the next morning to Teddi Dancing and screaming in joy that the tooth fairy actually came! It was sooooooo cute! She called the whole family the day she lost her tooth and told everyone what a big girl she was. She is growing up too fast in case anyone is curious how I feel about this LOL. I am so proud of my big girl and I love her gape toothed grin. Melts my heart.
