Not so perfect 1st visit from the TF


Cash has been talking about his loose tooth for a week now.  I didn't know how this was all going to go down.  Twice this past week I have asked if his tooth is getting any loser?  He wiggles it and reluctantly lets me.  He has told me, "Mom I want you to pull it."  I can help anyone else pull a tooth, but truth be known for some stupid reason it makes me nervous for my own!  I wimped out with W and took him to my office for assistance.......
The result was all smiles, a like for dentistry & even a pose with the forceps!  (Since I just started blogging....you will often see me backtrack to mention things with #1 I am currently mentioning with child #2)  I just got super lucky on this deal!

Last night, while in the car on the way to Tulsa, Cash decides it is time.  W really wants to pull his lil bubs tooth.  He gives it several tries, but is limited with how much time Buttercup lets him stay in his mouth to try.  I glance to see bleeding and realize I need to suck it up.  From the front seat, I turned around leaned back and gave it one good yank for success!  He was in amazement that it was over and didn't even hurt.  Not the picture perfect first tooth pulling picture I had imagined.  No fancy video camera, no batteries charged for the Canon and mom leaning over the seat to pull it????? To a dental hygienist mom this TF stuff is a BIG deal!  Meet "Toothie" our TF pillow SuperHero delivery agent.  Buttercup named him all by himself.  FYI:  #o is out and #p is slightly loose.  He doesn't want to lose the other as he says that is the tooth he eats all his steak with!



The night before we went to take the annual Santa pics at the mall.  I told Santa before the boys entered this little one of mine has been bad....get him!  I think Santa took it a little far.  I don't think his father will ever forgive me for this one!


So between mean Santa talks and weird Willy the Elf nightly moves, Buttercup is a little spooked that a Tooth Fairy will be flying into his room while he is asleep tonight.  We caved and allow his to sleep in our bed between us.  Shouldn't this make it easier on us???

I texted Chris from my bed that it is time.  He came in with the money, I handed him "Toothie", and he took the tooth, and put the money in.  I placed Toothie back under the pillow and fell asleep.  This morning I sprinkled the fairy dust by the door TF probably entered.   I proceeded to wake Cash up.  Finally, he was up and looking in the pocket on Toothie's back.  "Mom she took my tooth and there is no money!!!"  Chris looked at me as if it was MY fault?  We checked, stripped our bed, made our bed, looked under the bed....no money!  I loved handing out Father of the Year points to Chris as he so quickly hands such Mother of the Year points to me when I mess something up!  Was there a TF burglar?  Was Chris still mad about losing his breakfast money for the morning?  Did W come take it?  Is Cash outsmarting us all and the gig is already up before it begins?  Chris puts him in the shower and puts some money under the bed to be found.  IN OUR CLOSET ON THE FLOOR WAS THE $5!  How in the world?  How did it get there?  My mind is too tired to figure it out.  Just a day in our crazy life...
