Toof Fairy Come Quick

Notice anything.... Different about me?


Yep!  That's right.  Ella lost her first tooth!  One minute it was loosey goosey and the next it was o-u-t.  And in Ella's uniquely sweet and shy way she was ecstatic.  How did I know?  Well, the floodgates of questions about the tooth fairy opened up and poured out.  All.  Day.  Long.   

"How does the tooth fairy know I lost a tooth?"
"What does she do with the teeth?
"How much money do you think she'll give me?"
"Is there just one tooth fairy or many?"
"Were there tooth fairies in the 'olden days'" *my particular favorite*
"Does the tooth fairy have a lot of money?"
"How does she get the money?" (I'm seeing a theme here)

Oy vey!  Having to lie so much is killing me!  Anyone know what teeth are going for these days? I've got a lot of thinking to do.  Tonight will set the precedence for all future teeth in the Anderson household... And we have a whole lotta teeth around here.

I agree with Bree. She is a doll. :)

The tooth fairy that comes here always leaves fairy dust on the boys' pillows (BOTH of them) when she gets her teeth. She leaves money for the child with the missing tooth and checks the other kiddo's teeth for any loose teeth (as long as she is in the house). :)

Just the Six of Us

Six may seem like a lot but only to others. It is who we are. Some people like peace and quiet (who doesn't?), but the quiet we lack we gain all the more in giggles, feet scampering, I love yous, tickles, tiny voices singing. Being a mother to these four amazing little people and a wife to the most incredible person I know is a blessing that can't be put into words; I am living my dream.
