Notice anything different?

If you look carefully you'll notice a new hole in Sydney's smile. A missing tooth. Sydney is ecstatic. She has been waiting 'forever' for a tooth to fall out and last night it finally happened. We didn't even know it was loose, but we now know if you bite really hard onto your pant leg and then kick your legs around, teeth fall out as the material is ripped from your mouth. There is a new tooth already starting to take it's place, but poor Syd has a tiny mouth just like me and it is already coming in sideways. Don't worry, the dentist has been warning us for years and we've already started her braces fund.

The first tooth Abby lost was very traumatic. Her 2 bottom teeth were knocked out her mouth by a jumprope on the playground at school. Because it was the first tooth and lost in such a dramatic way, the Tooth Fairy was very generous and left $3 for each tooth. She has since become a lot smarter and moved back to $.50 to $1. I thought for sure no one would remember how generous the Tooth Fairy was, but I was wrong. Abby was such a nice sister and keep telling Sydney how cool it is to loose your first tooth because you get TONS of money. Sydney did wake up to $3 this morning, but has been reminded several times that from now on the Tooth Fairy is on a budget. 

Sydney kept asking what the Tooth Fairy does with all the teeth. I told her I didn't know, but after she thought about it for a while she figured it out. They are just rotated back to little kids. She is convinced that very soon Evan will be getting a tooth and it will be her tooth in his mouth.

We had a party at our house today. A tooth party. Sydney decided to host a party for herself and spent the morning making up games, gathering prizes and handing out invitations. Abby even got involved and invited a couple of her friends. Sydney was so excited everyone showed up and even more excited that some of the kids brought her presents. 

Here are the invitations. They say, "I lost a tooth hooray."
