Tooth Fairy Time!!!

I don't want to forget these special moments and that's why I like to blog. The fact that I blog about events WEEKS after they've happened shouldn't matter LOL, it'll still be recorded here for me to remember. July 22nd, I was working out in the living room and Alyssa comes out and says to me, "mommy, I just lost my tooth" I was mid push up and literally jumped up and asked to see her mouth. Sure enough, there was a hole in the bottom left front. Here's the kicker, she LITERALLY lost the tooth! It popped out of her mouth when she was "pretending to be a puppy" and had the corner of one of my decorative pillows in her mouth and she was shaking her head fast and let go of the pillow. The pillow went flying out of her mouth and so did her tooth! So it took me about 15 minutes of searching on the ground for a tiny little tooth but thank goodness I did find it! That night she was sooooooooo excited to have the tooth fairy come and visit her. When I went to her room to get the tooth that night, I did find a note she had written for the fairy, asking if she could please keep her tooth! LOL I asked her about the note the next morning while I was making her bed and she said she wanted to keep the tooth as a memory. I told her the tooth fairy "buys" the teeth so she really does need it, and she was fine with the money she got from it but I just thought it was so sweet that she wanted to keep the tooth. <3 Yes, I know it's a bit more than a month ago that this happened but now it's in writing and I will be able to look back at this post and be taken back to that sweet memory of my baby girl's first baby tooth.

P.S. Here she is BRIGHT and early at 5:ish AM showing me the sparkly $5 and fairy wand the tooth fairy left her ;)
