Loose toof!

Well, Ashley has some exciting news,.. she has her first loose teeth!! This is very, very exciting to her because she has been waiting soooooo long for it to finally happen! Both of her sisters have lost several teeth already, and she's seen the exciting 'evidence' of the Tooth Fairy's visits time and again. Brittney even tricked the poor Tooth Fairy once with a fake molar she got from her cousin! It worked the one time, but we had a little talk about how it was wrong to trick her, and she promised never to do it again,.. but she still thought it was pretty cool to get away with it that one time! LOL! Anyway, little Bug has been waiting her turn for sooooooo long, and has made me check her teeth periodically for the last year, at least, LOL. Anyway, we actually hadn't checked them lately, but she bopped her mouth this evening, and then said, "hey, my tooth wiggled!!",.. almost out of habit, I started to say, 'not yet, sweetie, you're still too young...' when I realized, holy smokes,.. she's going to be FIVE years old in just 8 weeks,.. OMG, she IS old enough!! So instead, I told her to come let mommy check, and low & behold, BOTH of her bottom two front teeth wiggled. In fact, they are more than mere wiggly,.. they are loooooooosey goosey!! I'd be surprised if they take more than a couple of weeks to come out.
The Tooth Fairy is going to be busy at OUR house here shortly because we've got at least 4 loose teeth between all three girls, and our Tooth Fairy got something started she probably should have thought through better when she got started 3 years ago,... !! Our Tooth Fairy, the doll that she is, LOL,.. leaves not just a shiny quarter,.. no, our Tooth Fairy is a rival among Tooth Fairies,.. our Tooth Fairy leaves a special glittery bag (that magically disappears afterwards when nobody is looking) filled with goodies,.. a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, sugarless gum, stickers, hair foo-foos, nail polish, flavored chapstick, and other lil' goodies (Thank you, Dollar-Tree!!), not to mention 3-5, in CA$H,... (to quote Courtney: "My Tooth Fairy ROCKS!) She also leaves a trail of Tooth Fairy 'Dust' (aka confetti) from their pillow to the windowsill,.. (sometimes, they roll over on them while they're sleeping and a couple stain a tiny star, or whatever shape they happen to be, on their cheek,... we call them Tooth Fairy 'kisses'!). What a mess to clean up the next day,.. Oy! If I could go back in time,.. I'd smack some sense into myself!! No, not really,.. I love it! And good intentions,... adding to those precious memories they'll treasure their whole lives, but didn't think about having times when the Tooth Fairy would need visit this household 3, 4, or 5 times within a mere month or two!! LOL,.. Thank goodness our Tooth Fairy 'retires' when kids turn 10 years old,.. Courtney wasn't too happy to learn that as she only has 2 years left, but que sera sera! LOL
Anyway,... Ashley's VERY excited, and already made her round of phonecalls to her Grandma and Nana. Daddy is on duty tonight @ the Fire Dept. so he'll have to wait for news of her 'wiggley toofs' until he gets home.
