Reason number 999 why I won't be mother-of-the-year. Jenna lost a tooth on Friday...not the one we were hoping for but, a baby tooth none the less. Jenna seems to have a issue with letting go of her baby teeth...THEY JUST WON'T COME OUT! The new ones are coming in whether there's room or not. She actually has three front teeth about to be four...the new ones are in front and the baby ones are behind them...it's not pretty. Now, I'm going to quote their dentist who, by the way, has about a hundred years of experience. Oooh, that made him sound old I hope he's not reading this. He was actually my sister's dentist...good, now I've insulted the kids dentist and my sister (HI JULES!). Anyhoo, his response to my tooth concern was, and I quote, "Sue, they'll come out when they're ready". I won't get into how much we pay for that type of professional advice but, sufice it to say he could have made up something better. Keep in mind he's a pediatric specialist...maybe I should keep that in mind and chill out. Okay, on to the reason why I won't be mother of the year. Jenna lost the tooth on Friday, a VERY busy day and I, the one in charge of notifying the tooth fairy of the tooth, was pooped. So, I forgot to e-mail the tooth fairy and guess what SHE DIDN'T COME. Now that will be the topic of a future therapy session I'm sure. I explained that the tooth fairy probably couldn't find Jenna because she was sleeping in Sam's room and had the tooth (technically) under HIS pillow. I know I was reaching but, work with me people! So, I suggested she sleep in her own room the next night and just to be sure she should put a sign on her door...which she did. And to everyone's amazment Jenna woke up the next morning a little richer and with fairy dust all over her pillow...that was a happy little girl.
Note: Until the tooth thing gets a little more presentable I think we'll work on photo's like this...cute smile, little visible teeth.
