The Tale of the first Lost Tooth... and the Tooth Fairy

Sorry this is a little Gross...(this is when it was still hanging on....)

So here is how it all began... Aana has been so excited to lose a tooth, because many of her friends have lost theirs. She dilligently checks her front teeth several times a day and finally finds one that is a little bit loose. I need to reiterate...a LITTLE bit! She starts to play with it as all kids to to speed up the process. A few days pass and then she shows Larry. The dentist in him was just too excited. I know he is going to dispute this story (but luckily he hasn't taken the time to learn how to post...), but ...

He started telling Aana that he would give her a little bit of "sleepy juice" (anistetic) and could pull it out at that moment. She was all excited until I had to intervene and explain to Aana that sleepy juice is a littel shot and that she should just wait until it is ready to come out on its own. Larry deals with teeth everyday, but I don't think I had ever seen him so excited as he was for Aana to lose this tooth. In the end...they loosened it more and she lost it that day, but there were no shots involved.

So Aana left her tooth under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy that night and was careful to leave her Tooth Fairy Halloween costume in plain sight so the "real" fairy might see it. She got $3 dollars and was convinced that she got extra money for her costume idea. It was ironic that that she lost her tooth the week she was the Tooth Fairy...
