The tooth fairy makes a visit!

What a week for Molly! Not only did she start kindergarten but she also lost her first tooth - one of the bottom front two - and its neighboring tooth is well on its way. It happened on her second day of school while she was eating lunch. After seeing her play with her tooth the night before (you remember those days, wiggling it with your tongue?), we knew it would probably happen at school - and it did. Her teacher packed it nicely in an envelope to take home. Instead, it stayed in the classroom (probably much to the teacher's chagrine the next day) overnight. The tooth fairy still visited that night after Molly wrote a nice note tucked under her pillow, "Tooth fairy - I lost my tooth To the Tooth Fairy, Molly Andrews". I think she was also trying to explain that she also lost her tooth at the school. Not sure...that's my guess.


The tooth fairy took the note out of the envelope and left a couple of new learning to read books - Fancy Nancy and Dick and Jane - and a pack of Orbit raspberry gum. She told me, "That's my favorite gum!". I asked her, "How do you think that the tooth fairy knew that was your favorite gum?" She said, "Magic." She's not quite ready for picture time for this post but picture day is coming up at school...
