Day 4~ Teeth!

Yes- I am thankful for teeth. (I guess I should mention that these days will be in no particular order of importance, but more related to what is happening at the time and some will be silly!). Why am I thankful for teeth you ask? Check out these pictures of Madeline from yesterday and you may understand. :o)
Madeline has now lost 3 top teeth. She still has bottom teeth coming in. Poor girl looks like she was on the losing end of a fight. Can you imagine trying to eat? (Thus why I am thankful for MY teeth! LOL) The 4th top tooth is starting to wiggle now and I fear that soon she will have less teeth than little Emma!

Here is a before picture with the tooth just dangling! Ick!

The tooth fairy came last night and left Maddie a dollar. She was beaming this morning! The tooth fairy did not come on time with the last tooth lost (just a couple weeks ago). Maddie lost that tooth at school and came running out of the school gate so proud. We felt awful (and she was crushed) that the tooth fairy didn't come that night. We tried to reassure her that there had to be a reason why she didn't come. We all came up with crazy ideas why she didn't come.

That night the tooth fairy DID come. She left a letter for Maddie apologizing and you know what? She had a TOOTH ACHE! That's why she couldn't come- she had to go to the dentist to get it fixed! ;o) She left TWO dollars for Maddie to make up for the extra night and she left a special surprise for Maddie to discover. Who else has the Tooth Fairy's signature on their cast???
Oh boy was the Tooth Fairy redeemed in our house! Phew!
