Last night, Becca's second tooth came out. This was a very abrupt tooth-exodus (the first tooth was loose for more than 2 months). She noticed it was slightly loose just a week ago. Tuesday she was at school and chewing on her tights (yes, while she was wearing them - don't ask me why or even how this occurred), and she popped that tooth loose. She spent the rest of that day in pain because every time she closed her mouth or tried to chew, the top front teeth hit that loose, cock-eyed bottom tooth.
Constant pain does not make for a charming 5.6 child. In fact, the evening was pretty miserable despite the Tylenol I gave her. And for dinner, she ate a fruit smoothy because she could not chew.
But after finding $5 under her pillow, she is wishing for the next tooth to let go.
Accountant by day. Mother by night... and day. Over-scheduled and over-committed. But, oh, so blessed.

A normal week is full of homework, gymnastics, ballet, laundry, church, drama, accounting and prayer. Oh, and just for giggles I work in my husband's medical practice and at my daughters' school office. In the midst, I strive to find moments to archive our life.

FIVE DOLLARS!!?!?!
My parents were the "Here's a quarter" type. I think I once got a silver dollar and it was the best day of my life. (-:
Don't tell me that inflation's THAT big of a deal in the last 15 years or so....
Wow, it HAS been a while since I lost a tooth. Heck, I don't even have to get my wisdom teeth pulled.
Becca is a bit young for the tooth-losing thing, so she only has one other friend who has ever lost a tooth. That friend got $5 and sort of set the neighborhood tooth price. (-:
Yeah, the neighborhood standard is going to drop down to a nickel when some kid suddenly hase 40 teeth under his or her pillow.
I used to get a handful of pennies, nickels and dimes. Maybe a quarter. One time, I got a stuffed unicorn. It was the best thing ever (-:
