The Tooth Fairy came to visit our house last night for the first time. Katrine has had two lose teeth since December. This past weekend she gave one of them a mighty tug which resulted in a trip to the dentist with her father yesterday morning. The dentist pulled her two front teeth out and then sent her home to spend the day with daddy, her monkey and movies while the freezing came out.
When Grandpa called to check on her, she assured him that she was fine and that the tooth fairy was going to bring her money and probably a toy or something because she was so very brave. Next she had to explain about the tooth fairy to her stuffies. Did you know she is the size of a piece of dirt but very strong? Also, she only comes once you are asleep like Santa? Then she tucked the teeth under her pillow and for once fell right to sleep.
First thing this morning, she literally dove head first under her pillow in search of her booty. The look on her face when she discovered the cash and a cute little monkey bowl was priceless. Now we have a temporarily half toothed daughter (her adult teeth were growing in behind the baby teeth so they are already half in).
