What color is your FAIRY?

Caleb lost his very first tooth. The others that have been absent for three Christmas' now were pulled, so they don't count. He came to me last night and said his tooth was really loose, and then he just pushed it until it came out. I can't believe how brave he was. He didn't freak out or cry or complain or anything. It was just a matter of fact thing. It hardly bleed at all. Now Caleb has a complete hole on top and bottom. it will be even harder to chew now. My friend Megan taught us that you can see what color your FAIRY is if you put your tooth in a bowl of water, the fairy has to go through the water to get the tooth and the color that they are is left in the water. We were so excited to try...Guess what color Caleb's FAIRY was....


Caleb's FAIRY was orange. It looked just like the reflection of his red desk, so at first he thought that the fairy had not come, but when the sun came up...You could see that it was definately a diffrent color. And the FAIRY left a dollar...I can definately see the inflation...I used to get 10cents.

What a clever idea. I really wish I could take credit but I too learned it from a friend.

Caleb you and Emma are TWINS. You lost your teeth a week apart. How fun is that. She was excited that I saw you and wished she had seen you as well. I told her maybe soon.

Melanie, I talked to Jeron and he said maybe we could do a Memorial day weekend or something like that. Tell me when would be good for you and we will try to work it out:) It was so good to see you.

BTW that post of mine it is my in-laws AGAIN. Wedding...leaving my kids out...WHATEVER!
