She was at my mom's house after school, so I wasn't there for the historical event. However, I will try to recount the series of events as told to me by Hailee:
Well, I was eating a piece of hard candy and tried to bite it. Then all of a sudden I was like "Is that a little rock in my mouth?" So I reached in and grabbed it and it was my tooth! Then I went running right into the office to tell Mormor and I was like "I lost my tooth! I lost my tooth!"
To say that Hailee was excited is an understatement. She has been wishing for months now that she would lose a tooth. Most of her friends in school lost several last year, so she was feeling a little left out. Seeing the excitement in her face when I went to pick her up made my heart smile. She had her tooth in a little ziploc bag and couldn't wait to show me.
Well, of course that little ziploc just HAD to go into Red Robin with us when we went to dinner. Unfortunately, it was about an hour after we left when we realized that the little baggy never made it out of the restaurant. As I came to the hard and fast assumption that the tooth was discarded amongst the unwanted french fries and napkins covered in ketchup, I felt my heart rate increase with anticipation of a complete meltdown.
Long story short, we drove to Red Robin to see if it was there. Of course the hostess felt horrible and offerred up balloons and ice cream...but it was gone. Turns out...they found it on the table, called the toothfairy and she came and picked it up there! Who knew? And...because she's the toothfairy, she still knew exactly where to leave the dollar. She put some extra miles on those wings that night...but I had one happy little girl!
Oh...and our Saturday night movie choice? The Toothfairy, of course!
(Note: I meant to post this back in September...when it actually happened! Oops!)
