Well, it's official! Anne Craig lost her first tooth last week. It's been a "shade" loose for some time but it finally squirmed it's release last week. It was hanging on for quite a while. Her first grade teacher, Mrs. Burgess, did the honors while she was at school. I could not help but think that we were a little late in joining the exclusive club of missing teeth but my wonderful dentist reminded me that the later the kids lose their teeth the healthier the permanent teeth have a chance to be. I was glad to hear those words of wisdom due to the fact that it's usually a full blown battle to brush teeth daily much less use sufficient tooth paste while doing so... geesh...
I had NO CLUE that the going rate of the Toothfairy these days is $5.00 for the first tooth!! My goodness...that seems a bit steep to me but Anne Craig was excited. I told her that I bet that the next few would be $1.00 teeth. She seemed to accept that notion.
Funny thing happened yesterday during bath time....conversation went something like this...
AC: "Mama, were you born in 1970?"
Me: "Actually, baby, I was born in 1972!"... "Why do you ask?"
AC: "Isn't that when the sky was still brown?"
Me: (Insert full blown laughter here)
I am assuming she is referring to seeing old sepia toned pictures perhaps that we have run across of late while cleaning out Gamba's house... who knows....
