So...you know how kids are. Once something cool happens to them, they want more. Okay...that's a silly thing to say. It's not like adults AREN'T that way!?
Anyway...two weeks to the day after the loss of Hailee's first tooth, her constant pulling and tugging paid off and she lost tooth #2. As that day approached, we had several conversations regarding what to do with the tooth once it came out and how to make sure we didn't accidently lose it like the first one (see previous blog entry if you have no idea what I'm talking about).
This one came out at school and promptly was placed in a darling little treasure chest and put directly in Hailee's backpack. I got an email from her teacher saying "We MAY be coming home with a tooth today...wink...wink..." so I was expecting a big hoo-rah when I went to pick her up from my mom's house.
She wasn't quite as excited and had forgot to even mention it to my mom, but proudly pulled out the treasure chest and showed me. It made it home...atta kid. Guard down. Big mistake.
As we were leaving, her little friend was walking by and of course she had to show her the tooth. So, little treasure chest in hand, she ran across the lawn to meet her friend at the edge, pulled out the treasure chest, opened it up and in her excitement popped it right out. Onto the lawn. The kind made of millions of pieces of grass. The kind that no matter how hard you try, there's no way you can find a little baby tooth in it.
Needless to say, the toothfairy made a second visit to our house, but again was sent away with no tooth. Geez....good thing my mom worked so hard to make Hailee a toothfairy pillow...will it ever hold a tooth? I'm ALMOST certain that the toothfairy is tired of paying out money for nothing and has given Hailee her last chance. Maybe if she didn't have a "No matter what I still get the money" attitude, things would be different. We'll see about that....
