The Tooth Fairy

After the Christmas vacation, on Lia's first day back to school, she lost her first tooth. She came into my classroom to let me know.  After school, she said that she had the most awesome day!  (What kid says that on their first day back from vacation?!)  The toothfairy left a sparkly dollar bill under her pillow.   Lia has it in her collection of very important things.

Then yesterday, on the 100th day of school, Lia lost her 2nd tooth!  I happened to be going into the hallway, and on my prep time.  Lia came running up to me, so excited.  So I followed Lia and her wonderful Kindergarten teacher, Sarah, right into the nurses office, with my iPhone of course.

Check out the tooth chart behind Sarah and Lia, and Lia's 100th day crown.  We were cracking up that  Lia made it on the tooth chart again!!

Here's Lia, excited to go asleep!  We found a pretty drawstring bag to put the baby tooth in, 

but she quickly realized that she wanted to keep the bag.

So she wrote a letter to the tooth fairy, asking if she could leave it.  I love all the hearts and the purple writing.  Lia woke up early today to let me know that the bag had a dollar bill in it and a pretty little heart.

And here is our local tooth fairy, quite exhausted.  We just saw her a few days ago at the Adam's Lawn and Garden Show (but of course she would be exhausted, she's collecting kids' teeth all night long).  As the tooth fairy slept, Lia was mesmerized. 

Rosie now is telling us her tooth is loose...
