mck loses tooth #2!

yep! she's already lost her second tooth! of course, she wiggled in almost 24/7 since the last tooth fell out! :) it was barely hanging on for several days and she finally let me pull it out! she looks too grown up with that big space in the front! wow! the tooth fairy left a yummy pack of gum and $1 . . . and an added bonus . . . pink sparkles everywhere! :) how fun! :)

mck lost her first tooth!

oh my goodness. mck and I were making faces at b.c. when she suddenly spit something into her hand and asked “mom, what’s that?” i freaked out! i was so excited for her! her first tooth! it was so little . . . too cute! she was so excited . . . not sure if it was the idea of the tooth fairy coming or the fact that she has beat ken in the “tooth loss dept.” by months (because yes, everything is already a competition! and it’s nice to see mck win every once in awhile!)
we quickly put the tooth in the pillow and put it on her bed (reminding her of course not to play with it because it could easy fall out. . . .) well, she went to read some books in her bed and came out about 5 min. later very upset saying she lost the tooth . . . so ken helped her write the tooth fairy a nice note explaining what happened (along with some great questions for her and left that instead. what a lucky girl . . . the tooth fairy came! Leaving her a pack of sugar-free bubbalicious and $2.00!

and another tooth makes 7!

okay, so we'll officially stop posting and counting when we reach 8 . . . maybe! :) it's just so fun! the stire family gets excited! this morning mck told ken she should try to pull it out at school . . . and sure enough, ken came home with her tiny tooth tucked in a treasure box! she pulled it out at school and got to go to the nurse! :) mck and kam were all smiles with the news! kam replied with "my tooth is loose too!" :) too cute! :) so number 7 is under her pillow tonight . . . wonder what the tooth fairy will bring! :)

tooth #6

yes! she lost another one! :) this time she pulled it out herself! :) she was walking over to show me how loose it was, wiggled it, gave a little tug, and kind of freaked out as it came out in her hand! :) how cool! :) this time the tooth fairy left $1.00 AND a giant box of tic-tacs! :) lucky girl! :)

two teeth . . . already!

so just when i thought b.c.'s fussiness was ending . . . he started acting really fussy again this week . . . and drooling . . . and biting on his paci and on my hand . . . sure enough, he is getting two teeth . . . ALREADY!
my reaction, i sat on the floor and cried. i think it just hit me that things are already going by way too fast. :(
so, poor little guy has so much going on . . . growing, working on sleeping through the night, trying to roll over . . . and now teeth!

#4 . . . MIA

well, while looking for the decorations for the pinkalicious cupcakes, the girls were eating some candy they found . . . ken bit a hard blue candy and . . . FINALLY, her other front tooth fell out! it has been hanging crooked in her mouth for at least 4 days, but didn't want to budge! she was soooo thrilled! :) we snapped some quick pictures and cleaned her up and went to look for her tooth pillow . . . which of course is missing!

so, after carrying the tooth around in her hand like a treasure, i told her she needed to leave it in a cup on the counter (so she wouldn't lose it!!!) until we could find her pillow . . . well, it was there for awhile, but at some point she put it in her pocket . . . at some point before she went outside to ride her bike, run around, and do donkey kicks in the grass . . .

needless to say, tooth #4 is MIA . . . lost somewhere outside. i was at work and got a call from bailey wanting to know what he should do . . .

well, what do you do? (i had already told her if she didn't have a tooth the fairy wouldn't come . . . do you stick to that?) so, i had ken write a note to the fairy explaining what happened and that she'd just have to wait and see . . . she also wrote another note with questions for the tooth fairy . . . here's the stumper . . . "what do you do with the teeth?" uhhhhh . . . i don't know! i looked for answers on-line and can't find anything good, so we're skipping that question . . . (great parenting technique, i know! i may use this one a lot in the years to come! if the question's too hard, we'll just skip it!)

poor baby was still in tears when we went to bed tonight. :(

ken loses her front tooth

well, after WEEKS of wiggling, kennedy finally let me pull out her front tooth! a little tug and it came right out! the tooth fairy left her $1 and a pack of gum (generous tooth fairy . . . aren't we in a recession?) :) she sure looks grown up without that tooth . . .
