tooth fairy central

The tooth fairy is scheduled to make an appearance tonight, and she was just here three nights ago.

Ben lost his top front tooth today at lunch, so he has the all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth look...

He has another tooth on the bottom that is very loose and he was trying like crazy to get that one out today, too.

Sarah had to have her two top eye teeth pulled and she had that done Thursday after school. If you know Sarah, you know this was no small thing. She has always had an intense fear of having anything done to her body, be it a shot, exam, having a splinter removed, having her feet measured (I think everyone in the mall heard her screaming that day), whatever. I can remember when she just turned three and the doctor and I had to physically restrain her - she was screaming, kicking and punching because she didn't want the doctor to touch her.

When her orthodontist told me this past July that she should have her eye teeth removed I thought oh. my. goodness. Lord, help me. You don't know my daughter.

But, I am soooooo proud of her. She was brave (but scared) and she had them both removed. This was her first experience with Novocaine (shots - egads!) and she wanted to know exactly what the dentist was doing. He, thankfully, is very good with kids and he worked with her to get her through it. So those of you that know Sarah personally - be amazed and proud!

Here she is today, and you can see the two gaps in her smile....

So proud. :-)

In other news, I have a new item in my store called Flower Patch....

They are so cute! I used a few on a layout....

I know we're heading into fall, but I can never get enough flowers! :-)

Awwww! I love the toothless grin! Such a funny post to read tonight as my daughter just lost a molar tonight. Well, as we prayed together before she went to bed, she asked Jesus if tooth fairies are real! Love the innocence and imagination of a child. She has been proding and asking questions about tooth fairies: "Where do they get the money?, Where does she live?, etc. Enjoying these conversations with her knowing that before I know it they too will fade into time like "pixie dust". :)

Very proud of you, Sarah. I had to have dental work this past week...it's never fun...no matter how old you get.

Ben looked like me at one time. I waited a looong time for my two front teethers to come in!

I heard that Todd was surprised that he didn't get a phone call to come and sit on Sarah, LOL! Proud of you Sarah!

Cute flowers Patty!

well hopefully that toothfairy doesn't get wore out...or go broke in the process :) hadn't even though about how that will all go once j&l are at that age - she'll probably be working everynight. hehe.
