There go her tooth!

Riley went upstairs to brush her teeth before bed on Wednesday night (January 8) and I heard her yell down "my tooth fell out!!"  She was so excited.  The first thing we did was take lots of pictures!  This is the best one we got.  As Tagga brought to my attention, it looks a little like Jack Nicholson from the Shining!

So we made sure she didn't lose it, she finished getting ready for bed, and then she wrote another note to the tooth fairy.  She made sure to mention the sugar plum topping again. :)

It says "Dear tooth fairy, My ^sweet^ tooth came out.  Are you so happy to get it?  Love, Riley P.S. I prefer to have a candy cane with sugar plum flavoring on top."  

She made an envelope and put her note and her tooth in it and put it under her pillow.  She was SO excited when she woke up the next morning and got a note back from her Tooth Fairy (Toothitrudy), who gave her a candy cane minus the sugar plum flavoring (she explained that Santa used it all up!), and a coin to put in her piggy bank.  

Riley's tooth!

While at my Aunt Fran & Uncle Kevin's house on December 28, 2013 we discovered that Riley has her first loose tooth!!  I actually didn't notice it first, though.  While eating something, she told John's mom that her tooth was hurting so Gramie gets the credit for figuring it out!!

At first Riley was very upset about it but after a little while got used to the idea and got really excited about it.  She must have thought of the book Silverlicious because as soon as we got home she wrote this letter to the tooth fairy!  (*SPOILER ALERT* In Silverlicous, Pinkalicious loses her sweet tooth and ends up getting lots of candy from different characters!).  We thought it was pretty funny, especially since we have never actually mentioned the existence of the tooth fairy, or Riley getting anything from her.

"Dear tooth Fairy, I have a wiggly tooth and it's really loose. Love, Riley

P.S. I prefer to have a candy cane with sugar plum flavor on top"

As of today, it is still there but has gotten more and more wiggly. :)  We haven't decided what we are going to do yet when it actually comes out!
