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....
Cute conversation! No telling what kids will say!
