I've been coaxing Kylie to wiggle her top tooth that was working itself loose. She's quite timid with things like that and can't stand the sight of blood. Yesterday she fell out of a tree she was climbing and bumped her mouth, further loosening the tooth. Luckily it came out painlessly while brushing her teeth. She woke up this morning quite disappointed that the Tooth Fairy only left her $0.55. She informed me that her friend got 5 golden dollar coins and wanted to know why she didn't get any. I responded with the classic lesson that we don't have to have what everyone else has. The Tooth Fairy does different things for different families. We can be excited for others when they get something nice, and we can be grateful when we get something nice. But we don't have to get the same things. It was pretty much lost on her. We are entering the awkward phase of gaping holes and mis-matched teeth as she transitions from baby teeth to adult teeth. I think she's just as cute as ever with her holey smile!

That is how Lexi was too. She was so up set not to get $5 for her tooth. I couldn't fathom the idea of paying that much for a tooth!
Kyron has that same mix matched smile!! i love it, i think it is cute!! but of coarse only on small kids!!!
