Alex lost a tooth

Today was so exciting! Alex has been showing me several times a day how cool it is that her tooth could lay out completely flat. She would giggle wildly when she would gross me out and go on to show me again. At dinner, as she, Lauren and I were preparing to eat our oh so bad for us, Taco Mayo quesadilla's, Alex pulled out her bag with the toy inside to rip it open. You know how important it is to get the toy out immediately. The food just doesn't taste as good looking at the toy thru the bag. Anyway, she decides to use her teeth to hold the bag as she pulled hoping to create a hole to pull the toy thru. Instead, as she put it, "the tooth just popped out right onto the table!" Let me tell you how yummy my quesadilla was looking about then. :-(
The very best part of it was the look on her face. It was a combination of shock, fear and excitement rolled into one. I couldn't tell if she was going to cry or laugh! Took me back to the time I tied a string to my tooth and then to the door knob and chased the door as it closed. Yeah- that method never worked for me. Alex was so excited she called her daddy and then her brothers. She couldn't wait to get home and put the tooth in the bag that came with her special tooth fairy book from her Gramma and Papa. I am off to read that book to her now!
