"Yes, she's coming ... I promise!"



Tonight after everyone was out of the shower, I noticed Hayden wiggling his front tooth again. I was getting Abby & Sam dressed and told him to lie down on Abby's bed so I can check it out. Of course he is very reluctant to let me touch it, but I can tell it is hanging on by a sting. Now this tooth has been loose for months. We all know how cautious Hayden is and if it were up to him that tooth would stay in there forever. He could careless about the tooth fairy and her money. He'd rather have his teeth safe and sound in his mouth. So I asked if Abby & Sam could wiggle it very gently and he agreed. (I know this is slightly unsanitary, but whatever works.) So..there we are, the 4 of us lying on Abby's bed taking turns wiggling his front tooth. I realized nothing much was happening so I told him to go downstairs and show daddy his how loose it was. Within seconds, I heard an "Ouch!" and then footsteps back upstairs. J.R. was first holding the tooth and Hayden followed with a look of panic on his face and holding a napkin to his mouth. He is perfectly fine now, in his bed, dreaming about how the tooth fairy is going to get in his room.

Now only about 13 more to go.
