I'm Baaaack

On a more limited basis.  I may only post once or twice a week, but that seems much more doable to me right now, less stressful to be witty at least five days a week.

The last month that I've been off has been busy, but the most exciting thing to happen to us is Annabelle lost her very first tooth! 

It's not a great picture but it was very early in the morning and the flash hurts her eyes.

It took a full month for it to go from wiggly to out and it was a constant topic of conversation.  Have you been wiggling your tooth?  Let me check.  It hurts to bite on it!  Etc Etc Etc...  I finally had to give her an ultimatum, wiggle that tooth out or the dentist will be pulling it.  The next morning I wake her up for school and she smiles her  brand new gap-toothed grin.  The tooth fell out in the middle of the night.  She said she felt it in her mouth so she just put it under her pillow.  I had to come up with a quick story as to why the tooth was still there and she seemed to believe it, whew!

Saturday morning she wakes up early, early, early.  6:30 am early and finds her gift from Ms. Tooth Fairy herself.

You can barely see where she lost the tooth because her new one is already starting to fill up the space.

Sparkly money and a note from the Tooth Fairy.  I found this super, cute idea on Pinterest, here.  There is now fine glitter all over the house which Mark absolutely loves (can you sense the sarcasm) but Annabelle is thrilled with her fairy money.  I'm not sure that she will want to spend it.
