Mairyn is a tooth losing machine. She lost her first tooth (her bottom left) back in March. Then last Thursday night, she comes to me and says,
"Mommy, I think this tooth is a little loose."
Pointing to the right bottom tooth, she grabs my hand with the other and shows me. It's barely hanging on. Yeah, I think it's loose Mairyn. That one practically falls out in my hand and we put it out in a cup for the Tooth Fairy. **
Then Saturday afternoon, Mairyn says again that she thinks another tooth is loose. The top tooth is quite wiggly. So we give it a couple wiggles and out comes the other one. She is now left with three holes in her mouth and a pronounced lisp. It's very cute! We kept asking her to say, "Sister Susie sitting on a thistle." She didn't get that it sounded different. Thoe thoe adorable! She has discovered that she can clench her teeth AND drink through a straw in her spaces!
**Our Method for the Tooth Fairy**
We put our teeth in a cup of water. It came from my dad. I'm still not completely sure why, but I like it. You ALWAYS have change to plunk in the glass.

Change that goes plunk?! My brother told me that his son gets $20 a tooth now! Of course, i had offered to play tooth fairy so maybe he just wanted to see how gullible i was.... :p
Swizzling pasta without the complications of teeth ... works for the very young (and the very old, Ha)
Oh, my kids get a dollar for their first tooth and then .75 cents max for any other teeth. We're cheapskates!
