Another 'Lost' Tooth

I received a voice mail message from our daycare center this afternoon. They wanted to let me know that Kyle lost another tooth! This is the third tooth he has lost since August 8th. Great news, huh? The only problem is that they couldn't find the tooth - literally. And . . . . . . Kyle was worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't come tonight!  They told Kyle that we (Craig & I) would handle the situation at home tonight.

So, what is a parent to do when their child loses a tooth and expects the tooth fairy to retrieve it? This is certainly unchartered territory for Craig and I.  We talked about it and ultimately decided that the best option would be for Kyle to leave the tooth fairy a note. Here is what he wrote:

Dear Tooth Fairy,

The tooth is in my belly.

From Kyle

Oh yeah . . . . . . . Kyle told us he swallowed the tooth while he was eating lunch.  He said he was eating his chips and then realized the tooth was missing.  Nice, huh?  :)

Kids . . . . . . you gotta love 'em!  :)

P.S. - Check out my latest read on the right hand side of our blog.  I highly recommend this book for any parent who is dealing with kids who are losing their teeth.  It is super cute and Kyle loves it!  From amazon.com:
