Clara's 2nd Tooth

Clara lost her second tooth last night and it was quite traumatic, um, I mean dramatic. That first tooth came out at the mercy of a pistachio, so she was still new to this whole 'pulling out your tooth' gig, and she wanted nothing to do with it. When Chris was helping her brush her teeth before bed, he noticed it was turned sideways and he suggested that it get pulled before she went off to bed. As you can see, she was NOT at all excited...


One good yank and the drama was over!


There it is! Clara's second tooth, lost Feb. 7th 2010!


And by now you know, we can't lose a tooth without writing a letter to the Tooth Fairy. Clara even remembered the Tooth Fairy's name from the certificate she got the last time she lost a tooth.


Finally! To get an answer to her question!


Once again, the letter went into a Ziploc bag with the tooth so the Tooth Fairy could find it more easily.


Big gaping smile!


And under the pillow!


The next morning, we knew right away that the Tooth Fairy had come because she had left a trail of teeth!


Under Clara's pillow, she also left a dollar with another certificate...
and a note...

(The Tooth Fairy had a little help from her neighbor writing the note, so as not to be discovered!...and yes, now the neighbor lady thinks I'm crazy!)


Clara is so excited - she checked Matthew's mouth right away to see if he had a tooth yet. It's not quite in yet, but I'm sure he'll have it soon.
