Tooth Fairy Visits

Allison has been so excited to loose a tooth, but her little baby teeth are not loose at all. But her permanent bottom teeth have been poking up behind for a while and then they just popped up and were almost as tall as her baby teeth. I started to get worried that she would not be able to get them clean enough, so called the dentist to see what we should do. She said to bring her in, and they would probably have to pull them out! Since Allison loves the dentist, I didn't want to scare her, but also wanted to give her a heads up. She has had a cavity filled so she knows about the "mask that makes her feel silly".  She thought that would be ok, but was nervous. I told her how exciting it would be if she left the dentist office with her teeth because she would get to use her tooth fairy pillow and the tooth fairy would visit. She was a little more excited but still unsure. Since her permanent teeth were too far behind the baby teeth they did not push on the roots at all so her teeth had these huge roots.

It is kinda crazy. To think on minute they were perfectly anchored in her mouth and then just pulled out! Allie thinks her big, huge holes are kinda cool.....

She was a trooper and was concerned that the tooth fairy would have to take her teeth to leave her money. I told her to write a note to the tooth fairy and that she would probably understand and leave her teeth!

Paige was very excited for the tooth fairy to visit. She thinks she has a few loose teeth and really "needs her own tooth fairy pillow"...In true Gandma Ganne fashion...she tracked one down for Paige!

The tooth fairy read her note because she left her teeth and $10 sparkly dollars! She was excited and took her teeth for show and tell the next day!
