Finally!



Is what Audrey said when she lost her first tooth.  This happened during the last week of summer vacation.  She was so happy it came out before school started so she wouldn't be the only second grader that hadn't yet lost a tooth. I had the honor of pulling it out which I was excited about.  I love pulling teeth.

Audrey has shark teeth.  Her two bottom adult teeth are already coming in behind the baby ones.  Her jaw is very small and already overcrowded.  A large orthodontic bill is surely in our future.

The tooth fairy brought Audrey $10!  That's the trouble with losing a tooth after all your friends.  She heard from everyone what they got for their first tooth and the consensus was that $10 was the going rate these days.  Much better than the $1 we got in the 80s.  The funniest part was she made a survey for the tooth fairy to complete.  It included questions for the fairy to circle such as BOY or GIRL?  She left blanks for the tooth fairy to fill in for first, middle and last name.  Then asked about her flying techniques.  Sawyer also spent 10 minutes brushing and flossing his teeth that night because he was worried the tooth fairy would peek in on his teeth while she was in the house!
