"Hellooooo Tooth Fairy!"

We had a big moment at the Jordan household Monday night. Syd lost her first tooth! Poor little thing is almost 7 and we were beginning to wonder if those baby teeth were ever gonna decide to fall out! Her Daddy informed her that he heard the Tooth Fairy was giving out gold dollar coins these days for a tooth. She was so excited but decided to wait until the next night because she remembered Grandma D. was making her a special tooth pillow.
The next night Grandma babysat the girls while I went to a meeting. When I got home they were in bed but mom said Syd had put her tooth in her little pillow for the Tooth Fairy. Jamie had told her specifically that the Tooth Fairy was giving out gold dollar coins and I had no idea where those were so I decided I would just remember to tell him when he got home and he could take care of it. Well...I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 5:30am when my alarm went off. All of a sudden it hit me. Oh no! We didn't do our Tooth Fairy duties! I woke Jamie up and he trounced upstairs to make the exchange. I swear I could hear every floor board as he walked up the stairs and into her room. Good grief. I don't know how she didn't wake up! But she didn't.

When Syd woke up I asked her what the tooth fairy brought her and she said, "A quarter." What? A quarter? What the heck? It's suppose to be a gold dollar coin! So Jamie thought he grabbed the wrong coin in his sleepy stupor and began rummaging through his stash trying to figure out what happened. Turns out, Syd was the sleepy one and didn't notice that it was indeed a gold dollar coin. (whew.) She told everyone on the way to school about her visit from the Tooth Fairy... even the cross-walk lady. Now we are just having fun making her say "sassafras."
