"Is it ready yet?"




Ty has had a loose tooth for months now.......every single day since last November he has asked us if his tooth was ready to come out yet. OK, mind you in November, it barely moved! Finally last week it was just about time, but Daddy was in California, so I told Ty to wait so Daddy could be here for the big moment. Dustin came back and was so busy, there wasn't much time to pull the tooth. After a long day of soccer, we got a babysitter so we could hang out with some friends. When we got home later that night, she says; "Oh, I pulled Ty's tooth out. He was having a hard time falling asleep, so I got a wet paper towel and pulled it out." I SCREAMED!! I couldn't believe MY BABY LOST A TOOTH! and I wasn't there to see it. The next morning he was sooooo excited to show us a HUGE tooth missing smile. It was so cute. He was very excited for the "Tooth Man", aka Daddy, to put some goods under his pillow. Being the good parents that we are we discussed how much he should get for his tooth.
Mommy: "$.25"
Daddy: "Are you serious?!"
Mommy: "I mean it's a tooth! OK $1.00 for the 1st one and the $.25 for each additional
OK assuming that we were on the same page I went to sleep only to be woke up with joyous laughter as Ty shoves $2.00 in my face!! Oh, how great is communication! I gently reminded Dustin how many teeth one loses and how many children we have........
