Alex lost his first tooth this past week. He actually lost it during school. Apparently, he went to show his teacher his wiggly tooth and wiggled it a bit too hard and it popped out. He was so excited for the tooth fairy's first visit. The tooth fairy needs to perfect her technique a bit before the next tooth comes out. The tooth fairy waited until Alex was asleep and successfully made the exchange but there was a slight problem in the morning. Alex woke up and there was no tooth under the pillow but there was no dollar coin either. Jeff and I were in his room searching the pillow cases, shaking the sheets and tossing stuffed animals saying "I
know the tooth fairy wouldn't just take the tooth without leaving
something." We even pulled the mattress off and moved the entire bed but still no coin was to be found. Finally, after much searching and tossing we found that the coin had rolled under the trundle drawer under the bed. I'm going to have to make a tooth pillow or something for the next exchange - Alex is already starting to work on wiggling the next tooth so I don't have that much time. Wish the tooth fairy luck on tooth number 2.
