The tooth fairy

For the past few days Isaac has been wiggling one of his bottom teeth.  He has been so excited waiting for his tooth to come out. Last night as Steve and I were sitting on the couch I asked him to come over so I could see how wiggly it was.  His tooth was barely attached, I could move his tooth in every direction. I knew it was ready to come out and I didn't want Isaac to have to worry about it falling out at school today. So Steve asked him to go upstairs and get the floss. Steve tied it in a small loop to put around Isaac's tooth.  Before Steve even had the chance to pull it out, it just fell out.  Isaac was so excited he said he was going to his tooth in his baggie in between two pillows for the tooth fairy with an extra pillow on top. He said he didn't want his tooth to break because the tooth fairy builds her house out of the teeth she gets.  Then he said he was going to put his finger flash light on so that when the tooth fairy came in, it would turn on and he would catch her.  He went to bed completely filled with excitement for the tooth fairy to come.

This morning while I was in the shower Isaac came in and threw open the door and said "Today is the best day of my life." I asked him why and he said because the tooth fairy came to visit. He had gotten a dollar in his bag where his tooth was and now his tooth was gone.  He then opened the bag and said "Whoa, I got TWO dollars!!"  It was the cutest thing ever.  Then I asked him if he caught the tooth fairy last night. He said he decided he wanted it to be a surprise and he did not want to see her.  It made me laugh.  It reminded me that it is such a blessing to have these sweet children that I get to take care of.

The last time Isaac lost a tooth (which has been almost a year ago) Steve was in young mens and they had gone for ice cream. Isaac was with Steve, and the Bishop offered to buy Isaac an ice cream cone. He slurpped the ice cream through his hole where his tooth had fallen out and love it. So in lieu of that we will be taking him for ice cream tonight. I absolutely love my sweet kids, they are what makes everything worth while.
