The Tooth Fairy's Coming Tonight!

Besides counting the number of "sleepover" nights I am having here with Liam, and the number of days until Santa arrives, there will be no more days to count until the Tooth Fairy arrives, for she will be here tonight!

When I arrived a couple days ago, Liam was proud to show me his loose tooth...
 ...and has been wiggling away at it to try to get it out.  This morning we all decided it was loose enough to pull it, and a string was the choice method...mommy tied the string (dental floss)...
 ...a little knot at the base of the tooth...
 ...and Liam excitedly anticipated the string being tugged and the tooth coming out...
...Trevor gave the fateful tug...
 ...and out the tooth came!
Liam rinsed his mouth with a warm salt water mixture...
...and proudly displayed his now missing tooth.
 He couldn't wait to put it under his pillow...
 ...and there it sits...
 ...waiting for dark and him to sleep so the Tooth Fairy can slip $1 under his pillow to replace the tooth (ha ha, used to be a quarter when my daughters were young)...
 Here's our boy, proud of his new smile!

Thanks for reading my blog, you are the best f/f/r/s/f's, see you tomorrow,
Lise

Hope the tooth fairy doesn't fall asleep before she gets the job finished!

And I was excited about my dime! Good for Liam. I hated to have a tooth pulled out. - Maryg

Patti, I actually woke in the middle of the night to check and make sure her "deposit" was still under the pillow, LOL!

I know what you mean Margy!

Ha ha dad, we do have a few stories to tell, don't we! Hugs back:)
