Here Comes the Tooth Fairy!

On Wednesday, Abby came home working on her loose tooth. She had been wiggling it on Tuesday night at the game--Bailey was helping her, too. You know you have a good friend when she is willing to stick her fingers in your mouth and wiggle your loose tooth! (Oh, the germs!)
~~~
Well, Abz was bound and determined to get her tooth out on Wednesday. She is convinced she has what she refers to as the "Shana Curse" that causes her teeth to never get loose and fall out. (My teeth took forever to fall out as a kid...) She worked and worked and---VOILA! Out popped her tooth on the lower left-hand side of her mouth! She was so proud!
~~~
We went on about our afternoon activities, and Abby disappeared upstairs into her room. Soon, I could hear her hooting and hollering and she came running downstairs to show me this...Yep, she had pulled the tooth on the other side! She was so pumped! Her friend, Sarah, is also missing these two teeth, and Abz wanted to have HER teeth gone, too! Enjoy the picture of her bloody holes! (And ignore the food in her teeth, please!)
~~~
Here is Abby's offering for the Tooth Fairy--complete with bloody stumps and pocket lint from her carrying them around in her jeans pocket!
The tooth fairy did come on Wednesday night--Abby received TWO dollars and TWO quarters! Since the tooth fairy's usual rate is a dollar a tooth, Abz figured the quarters were because she pulled them both at the same time--kind of a two for one deal!

Oh, and Abz how did you get the 2nd tooth out? Was it loose too? I hope the tooth fairy was good to you!

Sounds like the toothfairy has a universal rate....Carter also gets $1 a tooth. Thanks for sharing your tooth success!
