"Thuthy thellth theshellth by the theshore"

You should hear this kid say his S's.

(Or should I say, "Eth'th" - you will die from the cuteness!)

makin' bank from the tooth fairy

See how loose Wyatt's tooth was? Literally hanging by a nasty thread for what seemed like forever! Finally I talked him into letting me yank it out (previously he'd run away if I even hinted at wanting to touch it). Before he let me try, however, he wanted to give it a go himself, twisting and pulling...

No luck. Guess we'll let Mom take over...

Success!

(with a little blood.)

V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!!!!!

Most of our pictures from this point on are fuzzy,

because if you know Wy, you know he can't sit still

if he's EXCITED about something!

"Wyatt's Mouth has a Vacancy for any

interested teeth desiring to move in..." Of course we had to call our grandmas and grandpas!

Here they are talking to Grandma K.

The ol' Tooth Fairy Doll

(the one *I* used when I was little!)

-

Chuh-Ching!

"I can't believe the Tooth Fairy only left one dollar!"

(Hmmm...unfortunately for Wyatt I heard the

First Tooth is the most valuable. It only goes

down from here, buddy...)

toothless wonder

On the back of our pantry door I have a list of chores the kids can do to earn money. Halle has been saving her pennies to buy a new clock/radio/CD player for her room. She's got $7 out of $10 earned already ($10 is Mom's special price). Let me tell you...at the rate she's going, she's not going to have to do any more chores to make up the $3 difference! In the past month, the tooth fairy has paid her for three, yes THREE, chompers! She's losing teeth left and right! I keep teasing her that soon all she'll be able to eat is applesauce and pudding! The third tooth (the bottom one) she lost at school, which made it all the more EXCITING!
