The Tooth Fairy Came!

Ever since the Tooth Fairy visited Caleigh's preschool, she has been obsessed with losing a tooth so the tooth fairy would come see her.  In fact, I think she probably wiggled her teeth until she found one who would move and she kept on moving it.  I warned her to stop messing with it or it might become really loose, but she didn't listen and it DID become really loose.  And it turned VERY DRAMATIC!

She complained that the tooth was hurting her and I told her I would pull it.  She became terrified and wouldn't let me near her.  She literally laid face down in the hallway screaming so I gave her the options of letting me pull it, her pulling it, or we could go to my parents house and let her granddaddy pull it.  I explained to her that he pulled all of mine when I was little as well as all of her aunts' teeth.  She wanted nothing to do with any of those options so I put her to bed screaming.  

I took a shower and when I got out, she was standing there dressed and no longer crying.  She told me to take her to see granddaddy.  So, at 8:30pm we loaded up and made the 20 minute drive to their house and waited for Chad to meet us there when he got off work.

I took one last picture of her with all of her teeth.

After a few tries and Caleigh backing away from fear, the following took place.

The after photo!

Then Caleigh decided that she just wasn't ready to part with her tooth.  So, she wrote a note asking the Tooth Fairy if she could please keep her tooth.  THEN, she went to bed and decided that she didn't want the Tooth Fairy to come in her room while she was sleeping.  We had to assure her that the fairy had a magic wand and wouldn't come in if Caleigh didn't want her to.  Drama, drama, drama! LOL!

After ALL the drama, Caleigh woke up with a toothless smile on her face.  She had her tooth, some money (she says she will use for games at Six Flags), and a sweet note from the Tooth Fairy.  

While she was super excited, I was secretly super sad, yet proud at the same time.  All I could see was her childhood slipping farther and farther away from her and from me.  My little girl is growing up way too fast!
