Mark's 1st Lost Tooth!

No Tooth!
The tooth (Makenna insisted on being in the picture. She didn't want to be left out)

Mark lost his first tooth on Saturday night! He had just eaten an apple and it was hanging practically by a thread, so I told him his face was messy so to grab a paper towel and come over to me. I grabbed the tooth, yanked it out, and gave him the paper towel to clean up the blood. He was more in shock at first I think, then he was upset about the blood, then he was happy his tooth came out. He was so excited to put the tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. But as soon as he was happy, Makenna was upset. She started flipping out that she didn't loose a tooth and that she wasn't going to get a dollar. So to calm her down I told her that good little sisters and brothers sometimes get a quarter from the tooth fairy if they are good and happy for their brothers that lose their teeth. But there had to be no crying or she wouldn't get it. So she stopped and I put them both to bed. It was a long day. My best friend Jamie was over when it all went down, and if she wasn't already pregnant, it probably would have been good birth control for her because they were both a wreck for a while. :) Sorry Jamie, but it's too late now. :) Anyway, Mark was thrilled Sunday morning when he found the $1 that the tooth fairy left him and Makenna was excited with her quarter. (It was funny b/c when she told Mark that the tooth fairy left her a quarter, he said, "No she didn't, Mom left that for you." I couldn't believe it. But then she convinced him that the tooth fairy left it. Phew.) Anyway, it was an interesting evening.
