Toothless Wonders

It was an eventful weekend here at the Hodson house! Eli came home from school Friday and smiled really big and there was a tooth gone! He said he bit into his sandwich and out came his tooth! The bad news is he didn't make it home with it. He thinks he put it on his lunch tray,forgot about it, and dumped it. So anyway, that night, nothing was said about the tooth fairy coming. The next morning Emma was really upset that the tooth fairy didn't come so she devised a plan...Her plan was that Brent could find the tooth fairy's "number" in the phone book and if he couldn't find it, maybe he could "e-mail" her. Well, then that wasn't a perfect plan because if the tooth fairy came then that would mean that nothing would come for her. So after realizing that her plan didn't work out that great for her a few dramatic minutes took place. She finally came to terms with nothing coming to her since obviously she wasn't the one that lost the tooth! Later on that day, Brent and Emma went to get the mail in the mailbox and after retrieving it Emma's top tooth hit the mailbox lid, and guess what, out it came!!! She came running inside crying because there was blood everywhere! When she calmed down she said, "Now will the tooth fairy come see me?" I could not help but laugh because I was thinking what are the odds of her losing a tooth the very next day! And the fact that we had just spent lots of time explaining to her why the tooth fairy wasn't coming to see her!!! well, it was nearing bedtime and Eli and Emma were getting excited about leaving teeth! Since Eli's tooth was missing he decided that he would write the tooth fairy a note and stick it in his pillow. This is what it said: Dear Tooth Fairy, I lost my tooth at school so give me some money enyway. Do you like the way he spelled anyway? I said my goodness, Eli, do you think maybe you could have said please?

They spent some time putting their pillows together: And then finally they were ready to put them outside of their room in Bitty Baby's crib.

SOOO...Sunday morning the tooth fairy DID come to Eli and Emma's house! Wow! Who knew they would lose teeth within days of each other! In honor of one of Emma's friends, Junie B. Jones, Emma decided to name herself and her brother after a book title. "Now Mommy we can both be TOOTHLESS WONDERS!!!!"
