Andy lost his second tooth just before Christmas. I am so proud! He pulled it out all by himself. If you ask him, he’d tell you, “I just yanked it out.” We began to talk about how the tooth fairy would certainly visit our house that night.
Alex wanted to play with his digital arts and crafts program on the computer. I got him set up and started doing a little cleaning around the house. It wasn’t long and he said, “Mom, can I borrow your hole puncher?”
It’s not uncommon for the kids to make masks. We went to the basement and punched holes for the eyes and tied some string on it so he could tie his mask on.
He ran back upstairs and was now at the table with tape and scissors. He giggled. He laughed. He taunted his brother, “Andy, it’s the tooth fairy.”
Me: “Alex, what are you doing?”
Alex: “I’m the tooth fairy.”
Everyone started to laugh. Alex laughed harder. What possessed this kid to make a tooth fairy costume, I don’t know. Maybe he was hoping he could convince Andy to give him his tooth so he’d get the money from the tooth fairy. But the costume was complete with mask, crown and wand. Quite the imagination!

Quite creative! My oldest pulled almost all of her teeth out herself, sometimes a little before they were ready. She was too afraid to let anyone else do it which was fine with me. I hate dealing with loose teeth!
