The Cry Heard ‘Round the World

 Truly, there has never been a more dramatic loose tooth experience.  If you live within about 20 miles, you of course already know this.

 So we have talked about this loose tooth for days on end.  An accidental hit to the face by our neighbor finally sent things in motion.  Oh the tears!  He actually held his mouth open like this for days…

 

 

 

 Finally, at the neighborhood movie night it fell out!  Tears turned into smiles with the tooth in hand and the promise of a visit from the tooth fairy.  As the boys were laying in bed I heard Erik ask Ryan how many tooth fairies there were.  “Probably like five,” Ryan answered.  : )  Unfortunately for Ryan, his fairy was extremely forgetful and just downright lazy.

Fearing Erik would also get stuck with a bad fairy, a honorary fairy threw in $2.  Erik’s fairy was much more on top of it, but cheap.  Hey, it’s twice what I got!  Ryan was sure to point out how much better Erik’s fairy was than his!  The house is calm again (well, kind of) and Erik can whistle (well, kind of.)
