Gracie lost her second tooth about a week ago. She'd had a wobbly tooth right in the front for some time, but was afraid to pull it. I was afraid to pull it too, concerned that the flow of blood on her part would induce a flow of vomit on my part. So we left it, hoping it would spontaneously fall out. To our great surprise, it did come out on its own -- right into a slice of pizza.
Gracie forgot to put the tooth under her pillow the night it came out, so the next day she put the tooth in a snack bag and attached it to an explanation:
Dear Tooth Fairy,
My tooth came out. I was eating pizza and I felt something drop and it was this tooth. It fell out at 6:30. It was on top where you could see it.
My mom says you're real and my brother doesn't believe her. Are you real?
Sincerely, "Gracie"
Let me know how the tooth fairy responded to that note. So cute!
