Lexi has been SO concerned about her teeth falling out since her friends teeth started falling out a year ago. We kept reassuring her that it was one thing she did NOT need to worry about! Everyone's teeth fall out eventually, she just had to be patient! She was pretty excited when she could tell they were starting to get loose a couple of months ago. When an adult tooth started growing in behind her loosest tooth we knew it wasn't going to be long. Well tonight it was incredibly loose but she didn't want to pull on it so I told her if she went upstairs to brush them it would probably fall out, and sure enough it did. She was SO excited :)
She said she wanted to write the tooth fairy a note, so I let her go back downstairs to write one. When I came down, I found her writing this note, which I thought was so incredibly sweet. She was working so hard to make it legible with her poor little hand in her cast. I couldn't help but smile! What a sweetheart.
Kenny's mom made these little pillows for the kids and their friends when they were little, and she held on to a few. Not long ago when we were visiting them, she passed this one on to Lexi to put her tooth in for the tooth fairy. Lexi was thrilled to be able to get it out and tuck her tooth in the little heart pocket.
Lex put the little tooth pillow in between her pillows on the edge, so the tooth fairy wouldn't have to work TOO hard! Sure enough the tooth fairy visited and was nice enough to let Lexi keep her tooth as requested. She also left $1...what a nice tooth fairy! The girls were pretty excited this morning that a real fairy had visited their house :)What a fun milestone for all of us!!!

I am sooooo glad that you are now back to bloggin'! This was so wonderful to read! I LOVED the note that she wrote- that the tooth fairy was cool enough to leave the tooth and that I could truly see the excitement in her smile! Love it!
