Matt's Lost Tooth!

It's official! Matthew "lost" his first loose tooth. Now, to clarify for those of you who know matthew has had his top tooth missing for some time now, it was never loose. We had to have it pulled. So yesterday before church, Matthew came to me and said, "MOM!!!!! My tooth is really really loose!!!!" I looked at it and sure enough it was hanging by a thread. So after a few unsuccessful tries by Mom, Daddy took over and in one swift tug, the tooth popped right out!

After we put the tooth in a specially designed airplane envelope, and put it under his pillow, we tucked the boys in for the night and left the room. When we went in later to check in on them to make sure they were asleep, we noticed the airplane envelope out on the dresser. We noticed the tooth was missing! So we thought frantically about how to launch a rescue opperation so the tooth fairy could leave the treasure that awaited our sleeping boy. We found the tooth on the floor by the closet, tucked it safely inside a new envelope that was a little more secure and went to sleep ourselves.

This morning to Matthew's great suprise the toothfairy left him a dollar! He thought he had lost the tooth and when we told him how we saved the day by finding it an puting it in a better envelope, he and Landon concocted a better story of how the toothfairy had a machine that can detect where the tooth is in the room and to whom it belongs. So now we all know how the tooth fairy finds missing teeth!
