Every emotion in the book.


A few weeks ago, while we were out on a walk, McKinley noticed something. SHE HAD A LOOSE TOOTH! As soon as she realized it was loose, she started crying. Bawling her little eyes out actually. David wiggled it a little bit to see if it was really loose, and said, "Kinley! You have your very first loose tooth!" After hearing how excited Daddy was about it, she started jumping up and down and yelling "yay yay yay! My tooth is loose!"
When we got home, she immediately asked to call her Grandmas to tell them the news. She told them that we were going to have a party for her loose tooth!(news to me.)....what? You don't have parties for your loose teeth?
That was quite a while ago. It finally fell out on Saturday night, and we went through the same range of emotions that we had when the tooth was loose.
That night she refused to put the tooth under her pillow. She said the tooth fairy would never find it there. Our tooth fairy was a little unsure what the going rate for a tooth is these days. Does the tooth fairy put a dvd or an Ipod under pillows now or is a bright shiny quarter still good. We asked Mckinley about it, and she said that the Tooth Fairy brings MONEY! We settled on some coloring books, a 10 dollar bill and a silver dollar. Sprinkled her with glitter fairy dust in the night while she slept and fell asleep wondering how the time has flown by so fast. Oh yeah, and the tooth fairy kept the tooth, too. Guess what else? Another tooth has started to wiggle.

Wow Abby, $10 is the going rate for the tooth fairy nowadays AND a silver dollar???? I think by the time Andie loses a tooth the tooth fairy will be broke!

Hahahaha I love her and how she can go from bawling to ecstatic in .2 seconds. She was so much fun at Allen's party! I'm so glad Dave brought her. Her and Canyon play so great together.
p.s. She is going to be one rich little girl if the tooth fairy keeps it up!
