Nothing Is Normal Around Here!

Well, we knew Leni had 2 loose teeth, but we thought we had time. After all, she's only 5. By parental standards neither tooth was "ready". She had a few more weeks of "wriggling" to do.(!) Sooooo.....apparently she got facinated by tooth-fairy tales, and decided to pull her tooth herself. When she did, it flew out of her hands into the "black hole" we refer to as our play room (it's really our dining room but mom got tired of the dining set and sold it....the room now contains many, many toys..until mom can again find a new dining room set). Now, the mommy (me) is called from upstairs....immediately puts tissue into bleeding mouth as Kristin gives a play by play account (she talks like a 21 yr. old....make that a very loud 21 yr. old:)) of the whole proceedings. Katie is also excitedly jumping around (but she doesn't know why) and mom gets on her hands and knees to try and rescue daughter's first lost tooth, while trying to figure out just how Leni got that thing outta there. (first teeth have to go in the memory box!!) With much "help" and finding lots of things that weren't teeth :) TA-DA!! We found it! Now the mommy-fairy had to call the daddy-tooth-fairy to report goings on....and to tell him the mommy-fairy is broke and has no fairy $$ to put under little daughter's pillow (without the 3 little daughters hearing her talk....no small feat!:)Later... with much fanfare, pomp and circumstance, tooth was put under pillow and wouldn't you know!?! The tooth fairy found her way into our house while little girls were sleeping! (they said they were never going to sleep...but were staying up all night to "meet" said fairy!) We also got a new collectible horse from the Mom-Jo fairy! Here's a picture of Leni with missing tooth. TA-DA! Just another day.......
