Big News At Our House!

HAYDEN LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH! Yes, Tuesday morning was a very exciting morning at our house! Hayden has had two very wiggly teeth on the bottom for the last week or so. You could actually see the new tooth growing in behind the loose one. We had been playing with the tooth trying to loosen it up for the past couple of days, to no avail. Finally Tuesday morning while we were getting ready for school, Hayden came running up the stairs SO excited that he had lost his tooth. He made all the necessary calls to daddy, gramma, and grampa to let everyone know, and made a special request for a "tooth party" when he got home from school that day. Unfortunately, amongst all of the excitement, Hayden literally LOST his tooth! He assured me that the tooth fairy wouldn't mind as long as we let her know what happened and didn't try to fake her out by putting a fake tooth in the pillow! We still haven't found the tooth!
Since he requested that we throw him a tooth party, I wanted to make the day extra special for him. I spent the day making him a special tooth pillow to put his tooth in that night, and making him a special crown to wear to initiate him into the "missing tooth club". He thought it was all very cool! That night we read for the hundredth time this week, "Moose's Loose Tooth", and he was very happy in the morning to see the Tooth Fairy had left him one very shiny silver dollar and four quarters. He woke me up the next day to tell me all about how he had heard the tooth fairy talking to her helper that night!
Ellie wanted to show me all of her "unloose" teeth too, so here she is posing for her photo op.
