The tooth fairy came!




The other day Alekisio was getting in the car and I noticed his tooth was crooked. I was a little nervous and it didn't cross my mind that he's old enough for a loose tooth. I had him open his mouth and when I touched the tooth it was loose. It took two days until it was loose enough to pull and then we tied a string around it ready to use the old slamming the door method. I tied the string on and as soon as the string started to get put on the door Alekisio starting freaking out a little. So my mom called him over so she could "inspect the string on the tooth to make sure mommy tied it right" and yanked that puppy out. He had no idea and just started laughing when he saw his tooth, he was so excited. He put his tooth in the hand of a ceramic fairy that my mom had and wrote the tooth fairy a note asking if he could keep it. Of course she let him and even left two dollars! This was last week and this morning Alekisio woke up yelling excitedly that he pulled out his other tooth. So he now has a huge gap on the bottom. I love it!
