Landry lost another tooth on Saturday. This is his 5th baby tooth to lose. Just before he went to bed he reminded me that the tooth fairy forgot to come last time and we had to make sure to put the tooth in full view instead of under the pillow in order for the fairy to see it. I am not sure but I think she was very tired last time and fell asleep on the sofa before she could get to the tooth. Let me tell you that this time she was prompt and courteous! She took the tooth, left the cash and a lengthy letter with a checklist detailing the reasons why this tooth was acceptable for her recycling program. He was very excited and satisfied that he had met the requirements for receiving the dough! The boy loves some money. Oh, and he informed me today that he is saving for an XBox 360 which he says cost $500. I didn't tell him that he doesn't have quite enough teeth.
On another note, tonight I was inspecting his teeth and smelling his minty fresh breath after he spent his two minutes brush, brush, brushing his pearly whites. He stood there with a big smile on his face as I tapped each big tooth with my fingernail, over and over again until he finally said, "What the heck are you doing?" We both burst into laughter. I almost cried. Oh, man...He has such a weird mom!
