Brianna has lost her second tooth. This one was a long time coming, since it has been loose for a month now but she has been too scared to actually pull it out. The first time "hurt" to much for her. So finally her tooth got so loose that it was barely hanging their and she couldn't eat food because it was so loose. She came to me with her tooth because it hurt to bad to eat her peanut butter sandwich and tearfully asked for help. I felt the tooth gave it a very small pull and it was out. Brianna broke into tears. I distracted her by suggesting she get a cup of water and she calmed down quickly. Then distracted her more with all the excitement of the tooth fairy coming and what would she do with the whole Euro the tooth fairy would bring?
She happily got a sandwich bag and put her tooth in it and then carried it around with her for a while. I lost track of her and of the tooth and forgot about it all with the business of the day. The next morning as we were making breakfast I realized the tooth fairy didn't come last night and that we had forgotten all about it. (This isn't the first time the tooth fairy has forgotten to come, we often have to send email to see if the tooth fairy is sick and see if she will be by the next night or not.)
I asked Brianna what she did with her tooth and she said she didn't know. I was relieved to hear she hadn't put it under her pillow. So I told her we better find it and that the tooth fairy couldn't find her tooth last night under her pillow and couldn't leave her, her money. We began searching and had no luck. After a short while it became clear that it was not around. I remembered that Brian helped clean up the night before so I thought I had better check the garbage (you know men). We dug down a little bit and sure enough there was that plastic bag with the tooth.
With the tooth successfully recovered Brianna ran up and put it right under her pillow so the tooth fairy could come that night. Luckily we all remembered and the next morning there was a wonderful surprise under Brianna's pillow.
