Loser

Kitty just keeps dropping teeth out of her head.  Since I mainly flutter through life in ignorance, I don't know how many more of these denticles will fall out before we're done.  I do know, however, that I seem to become a little poorer every time she spits out another tooth. 

She yanked one baby out during school.

The Tooth Fairy came through for her on that loss with a neon-colored squishy ball.  Kitty is convinced it's filled with mayonnaise and that's what makes it squishy.  Seems unlikely to me.  I found the mayo ball late at night at Walgreens as I was frantically perusing every aisle looking for a suitable Tooth Fairy offering.  Turns out Walgreens doesn't have as many toys as they used to.  I discovered this the hard way.


Her next loss transpired in the car during our long journey to Idaho for Christmas.  I was happily shoving Riesens into my mouth at an Olympic pace when she shouted from the back seat that she had lost her tooth.  I failed to capture a photo - my hands were full of Riesens.  But it was exciting nonetheless.  

Kitty was a little worried the Tooth Fairy wouldn't find her.  The Tooth Fairy was worried that the Broulim's grocery store wouldn't have anything good to get for her late at night.  Don't worry, everything worked out.  Broulim's came through with a stuffed dragon named Saffire.  In fact, it was the exact stuffed dragon Kitty had seen weeks earlier and had asked for when she lost a previous tooth.  It was a Christmas miracle!  




Seriously though, how many more teeth is she going to lose?
