The Tooth Fairy

Kamryn with her first lost tooth

We were over at our friends' house and Kamryn came up to me, near tears, and had a little blood on her cheek and her fingers. I asked what was wrong and thought she'd gotten hurt. She opened her mouth and showed me the gap in her mouth. She'd had a tooth fall out and she had no idea where it was. I didn't even know it was loose! I looked more closely and saw that the new tooth is through the gums and right there ready to come in. I still have no idea what really happened. Kamryn said she thought she bit on something but I never really got a clear picture from her. I think she swallowed the tooth. She was definitely upset about that and was worried about the tooth fairy coming. I told her its happened before in our family and we'd just leave the tooth fairy a note. She perked up at that.

So before she went to bed we wrote a note and put it under her pillow. In the morning she found the tooth fairy left her a gold dollar. Her comment to that "I wish the tooth fairy left us a toy or a present."
