Here Come's the Tooth Fairy!

So, about a week ago, Kenny declared he had a "wiggly tooth" I was pretty excited. Visions of my childhood flashed before my eyes as I remembered dad trying to flick my loose teeth out of my mouth with quick and precise accuracy. I remember sometimes not daring to announce my loose tooth for fear of the upcoming pain that was sure to follow after his attempts.
I couldn't wait to try it myself. Allen was more than reluctant to attempt tooth extraction so it was left up to me. Every day we felt it would happen soon, but it never did.....until tonight. Kenny had been complaining about how when he ate, it hurt his tooth. So I said, "get over here and let me look at it." He hurried over and knelt in front of me. When I went to flick it I realized it was at a 90 degree angle so I held the tooth between my fingers and pulled, and I had it out in one swift movement. It happened so quickly that he didn't even realize what had happened until he went to wiggle it with his fingers and it wasn't there. Then he did the happy dance!
Don't worry, we took the pictures pretty soon after it had happened. We had to hurry and call all the grandparents and you could tell he was pretty proud. I eventually got him to put it in an envelope before the little tooth was lost before the tooth fairy could take care of it. He wrote on the envelope "To tooth fairy From Kenny", and both Ashlyn and Kenny decided that the tooth fairy needed a notebook as well. He's pretty sure that the tooth fairy is going to bring him $6.95 for his little tooth. I'm not sure where he got that idea from, but I'm pretty sure the tooth fairy will only bring a 50 cent piece. I'm sure he'll be excited.
One last comment however, I have a friend who can't seem to part with all of her children's baby teeth. She keeps them somewhere with their baby books. Her children are old enough to know the truth about the tooth fairy. I however, will have to pass on that little keepsake idea....GROSS!
