Another one bites the dust

I knew my tooth would be falling out soon, but I had no idea that a dentist would knock it out for me!


On Wednesday I was at Dr. Rothman's office getting sealants on my back teeth. Apparently I have very deep grooves on these teeth which make them hard to clean and more prone to cavities (although I do not have any yet). I was laying there with a mouth full of cotton and a nose full of nitrous oxide when the dental assistants looked at Mummy and said, "The tooth fairy will be coming tonight." It took us all a moment to figure out what they meant. I hadn't even felt it pop out!

The tooth fairy did come. When I lost my first tooth, she left me a gold dollar. This time I got a silver dollar. But I knocked it off the bed while I was sleeping, and had to wake up Mummy to help me find it at 3:30am. Actually, I was worried that the tooth was lost and the tooth fairy wouldn't come. When Mummy found the coin under my bed, I was so surprised to see it!
