Something's Missing...

So the story goes like this....Sunday while shopping Olivia tells me her tooth is going up and down and up and down. I didn't really investigate at this point thinking it was probably just starting to get loose since this was the first I had heard about it. Well after dinner that night she showed me...it was literally bent all the way down touching her tongue! Of course we all got excited. Emma said "Olivia, you need to take it out and put money with it to give to the tooth fairy!" (it is a tough economy after all :-)). We did explain that the tooth fairy actually leaves the money. Olivia didn't want any part of it though and hid in the bathroom. That was the end of discussion.


Last night Marc and I actually went out on a "date night" and left the kids with our friends, the Starks. We picked them up at 9pm and put them to bed. This morning Olivia woke up, went to the couch, drank her chocolate milk and did the norm. I finally started to get her dressed about 20 minutes later and she said "Mom..." then she opened her mouth and pointed. I couldn't believe it! The tooth was gone! I asked her when she lost it and she said last night in Kylie's room somewhere. I asked why she didn't tell us and she just shrugged her shoulders and got all embarrassed.


We asked her about it a little more tonight and found out she was in Kylie's room when we got there to pick them up. She said she was laughing and felt something in her mouth. She took it out and saw it was her tooth, then accidentally dropped it and said "opps..." and then came running upstairs to see us. When I asked her again why she didn't tell us she just said "I just wanted to see you guys." We decided the tooth fairy must have gone to the Starks to get the tooth last night but couldn't find Olivia to give her the money. Olivia put out a little box tonight for the tooth fairy to find. I assured her the tooth fairy got the message and will find her tonight ;-)
