"two front teeth!" Natalie just lost both of her bottom front teeth in the past month - way to go!!! She was a little hesitant when Dan went to "check" to see how loose her tooth was, but when he pulled it out without it hurting AT ALL then she had no problem with him pulling out the second tooth a few weeks later. Plus, she discovered that it's not that bad losing a tooth when you get a visit from the TOOTH FAIRY! Natalie was so excited to put her tooth in an envelope under her pillow with a picture for the tooth fairy...
This is the Tooth Fairy, complete with crown and flowers on her dress. Since Dan is filling that capacity in our home it sure would be fun to see the "tooth fairy" actually wear that crown and dress! But he pulled it off without a hitch - Natalie woke up to find an envelope under her pillow with stickers and $$$!! Now how much money do you give kids nowadays for losing a tooth? I thought we should be generous and suggested a quarter per tooth (of course I'm remembering getting a nickel or dime for my teeth). Apparently that wasn't very generous at all - Dan was horrified by my "quarter" suggestion, saying we should at least give her a couple dollars. You know, enough to actually buy something. I guess I can thank my parents for instilling my meager generosity. So Natalie got a whopping $2 for her one baby tooth, and she was thrilled! Of course she used the stickers on paper, which she decorated, then gave to me. And she used her $2 to buy more coloring things to make more pictures for her family and friends. I guess we could all learn a bit from Natalie and her generosity. :)
