Elsie is pushing seven years old.
She has been some what frustrated by the fact she hadn't lost any teeth yet.
This got even more frustrating when instead of loosing teeth, she started getting teeth growing in behind the baby teeth.
We were a little concerned about this.
Me and Lucy that is.
Me- because, well, is that a bad thing? I know it's not a good thing. But how bad is that, really? In the big scheme of things.
My mother (who I default to often. she did raise 8 kids and all) assured me No Big Deal.
Lucy- she was concerned about the new teeth growing in behind for a whole different reason.
She asked me in whispered tones one night if this meant her sister was turning into a shark.
I told her not to worry and that I really didn't think so.
At long last her two bottom teeth became loose!!
Finally two nights ago one came out.
And what does that stinkin' Tooth Fairy do?
She forgets her duties.
Stupid Tooth Fairy.
I'm guessing the Tooth Fairy has possibly had a nasty cold and by the time every one is in bed she had already clocked out both mentally and physically,
that- of course- is purely speculation.
So...
the very next night the girls decided to leave a note for her---
"Dear Tooth Fairy
I am very excited that you are here. I kind of felt bad when you didn't come last night. This is my first tooth I have ever lost. It is the tooth that is under right front tooth. Thank you for coming. I hope my tooth is clean.
-Elsie"
Here she is in all her toothless glory.
And by toothless,
I mean baby-tooth-gone-and-another-tooth-already-there-so-that-the-whole-toothless-thing-is-a-little-anti-climactic.
No matter, she is pleased as punch.
:o)
I hope this will ease Lucy's mind a bit.
They do share a bed...I suppose I can't blame her for being a little nervous
sleeping next to her sister who may or may not have been transforming into a shark.

Thank heavens she cleaned it. I hear the tooth fairy hates dirty ones.
so did the tooth fairy remember her duties???? I can only hope that the end of the day-cold medicine induced fog cleared for a moment and the poor little girl who lost her FIRST TOOTH EVER was able to get her reward. ;0)
that Lucy, she's a thinker, always exploring possibilities. Glad you don't have a shark girl, I'm petrified of sharks and could never come over to your house again. sad.
I love your little Elsie! She seriously is one of theeeee cutest little girls I know. I'm hoping that she & Tyler are still ok with the arranged marriage I have planned for them in oh about 20 years or so! :) What a funny story about her tooth! I can't believe the other tooth just grew in behind the baby tooth. So weird.
Hope you are feeling better. Nothing worse that feeling crappy and still having to be mom. I love your idea of the Mothers Union. I am totally on board!
The understanding at our house is that the tooth-fairy is very busy and it may take 1 to 5 days to make the tooth-coinage swap, and that is simpley because the man tooth-fairy we know can forget several nights before he comes through...
That is fantastic!! By the way, my little Elsie girl, well, yours, but, mine, anyways, she is mighty good looking! All your kids are, but that photo of her is super cute. Love the letter-- funny girl! Oh I think Henery had a shark thing going on for a little bit there, maybe that is where Lucy's fears are coming from.m
thanks for the chuckle. And I'm with Amanda - your kids are beautiful:)
Elsie is too cute. The tooth fairy has forgotten to visit our house before too... Lets just say there were plenty of tears. Luckily the tooth fairy usually gets her act together after a day or two :).
