The Whole Tooth and Nothing but the Tooth

Baby Girl lost her first front tooth. For over a week she was quite eager to get that tooth out. She pulled and twisted, all to no avail. The tooth was hanging on by barely a thread for a long time. During which Havana seemed to take great pleasure in freaking me out by twisting her tooth so that it protruded forward! It was lovely! (not!)

Then one morning, Havana woke to her tooth having fallen out. Thing was, the tooth was nowhere to be found. Havana was quite sad that she may have swallowed it. (She had swallowed her first tooth and had only had one another fall out. She was afraid a pattern was taking place.)

When this Mama Bear got home later that day my instincts told me just where that tooth really was. And it wasn't her digestive tract! Sure enough, within minutes I found that sucker under the bed, nestled in the crack where floor meets wall. Havana was ecstatic!

A letter was written to Tooth with hopes for a response (she just had to ask what 100x100 was). Havana awoke the next morning to not only a note but to money and a silver coin, similar to one her sister had gotten. We were all excited to learn that another fairy had responded to Havana. Apparently Tooth was having a busy night so Raina the Rain Fairy was helping out (Raina was not that busy; no rain until later in the week she informed us). Havana was also left a pair of small gold hoop earrings. I am starting to wonder if I would get that lucky if one of my teeth fell out!

We are not sure how much longer the Fairies will continue to visit us for losing teeth but until then we are so excited about the magic and mystery that losing teeth has brought our family.
