uh oh, it happened again!

Where in the heck is that tooth fairy? Just a week later and the other front tooth was gone to the tooth fairy. I wondered if Logan helped it fall out so he could get another bunch of money from the tooth fairy.

Logan was explaining his picture he made to us. This is a huge angel and next to the big purple thing (can't remember what he said it was) at the top are the people in heaven welcoming the people coming up with the big angel. Some are floating up and one has a grappling hook pulling Pawpaw up because he is so big Logan says. I'm wondering if it's because of his heart of gold where these boys are concerned that is weighing him down. I asked where I am and he said I'm already up there! Ummmm, don't know about that. I guess it means I beat Pawpaw to the heavenly gates. Does Logan know something I don't know?

Tooth Fairy Strikes Again!

On Friday after school, Logan came running to the truck to show Pawpaw what he had in his hand. He didn’t have to explain much as he was smiling this huge, mouth open wide, smile, and yes, something was missing. There was a big gap in his beautiful smile. In his hand was a small tooth box with his tooth inside.

When I arrived home from work in the afternoon, Logan couldn’t wait to show me his missing tooth and the hole it left in his smile. He came running to me with the tooth box in his hand and smiling. It was a wonderful day and a first, the missing incisor! Who would know that teeth make that big a difference in a perfect smile? Logan went from being our baby with the little pearly white teeth to being a big boy who looked like What Me Worry. He was having fun with it.

He said, “I’m putting my tooth under my pillow tonight”. I said, “Don’t you want to wait until you get home?” He shook his head, back and forth - - with a resounding “NO”. He had a plan. That night we went to bed. Logan carefully placed his tooth under his pillow in great anticipation of the Tooth Fairy.

Early Saturday morning I woke up and I wondered if the tooth fairy had come yet. I slipped out of bed and rummaged in my purse. I had 3 dollars. I slipped them under Logan’s pillow and went back to bed. I was dreaming when suddenly I heard, “Memaw, Memaw, the tooth fairy brought me $2.00 last night and left my tooth for me.” I went with him to his pillow thinking to myself he must have dropped one of the dollars. I pulled the pillow aside and there was the $3.00 I left last night. He spotted it as soon as I did and grabbed the money and counted it - - $3.00! He went whooping through the house to tell Pawpaw his tooth fairy brought him a total of $5.00.

When it was time to take the boys home Logan scooped us his tooth. When he arrived home he told his dad, Mark, he was putting that tooth under his pillow again to see how much more he could get for it. Mark told him he was double dipping! Yeah! I think he tripled dipped on that one!
