Spencer's New Smile!!

As you can see, Spencer finally lost his first tooth! He has been wiggling this for about three weeks now and trying to work it out. Last night, I got a hold of it and said let me just give it a quick pull and see. Sure enough, it came right out! He was so excited. As he went to bed, he asked me in his most serious look, "Mom, I need you to tell me the complete truth. Are you the tooth fairy?" I asked him back, "Do you want the truth really?" He said, "Yes. I do." I said, "You really want the truth?" He said, "I don't know. Do I want the truth?" I said, "Why don't you sleep on it and let me know in the morning if you still want the truth or if you want to keep believing in the tooth fairy. That night, I didn't give him any money under his pillow. I told him the tooth fairy must have been busy - don't forget Brantley lost his tooth the same day and it stormed last night. He remembered the loud clap of thunder in the middle of the night, too. And I was busy! The next night, I gave him money and sprinkled his pillow with confetti stars. Now I know some of you are sitting there saying what a liar and blah blah blah. I'm aware of all that - but you know what? They are going to get the hard truth in so much other stuff. I choose to let them believe in the fairy tale stuff just a little longer. They already know it anyway ............ The day I don't get to be the tooth fairy will be a sad day in our house ........ I'm going to sprinkle them with pixy dust and love as long as I can!!! :)
