Toothless Grin

This past week was a milestone in Mylee's life. For the past 3 weeks or so, Mylee has been saying she has a loose tooth and once I even felt it and it didn't move. So I figured her friends at school were loosing teeth and saying this so she was too. Then on Tuesday she told me again and then showed me and sure enough she was telling the truth. Wednesday came around and I asked to touch it and when I did I thought it was going to fall out right then because it was sooooooo loose. So I asked her if I could go ahead and pull it, persuading her with the "surprise" that would be under her pillow in the morning if she puts her tooth under there. So she said okay. So with some toilet paper it came right out. It took me a couple tries in order to get the correct grip but it only bled a little bit. So now we have a toothless grin everytime she smiles. Pretty cute. The Toothfairy left her 1000 colones which is about 2 dollars. I guess with inflation and all, kids are getting a little more these days=). Or the tooth fairy wanted to give her some paper money, instead of a coin because she gets coins all the time. So she wanted it to be extra special and the 1000 colones is the smallest Costa Rica has in bills. Oh well. Below is the link to take you to the toothless grin! See you next week.
