Another lost tooth

McKenzie has lost another tooth. She has now lost 4 teeth. She is growing up so fast. Just 6 years ago, she was such a little thing, and now she is almost as big as I am.

The last tooth that McKenzie lost was pulled by Mrs. Book, at teacher at her school. She refused to let me pull this tooth since Mrs. Book is apparently the "best" at pulling teeth. She had to wait for Mrs. Book to pull it.

So Mrs. Book pulled it yesterday. We put it in the tooth fairy pillow and went to bed. I was exhausted because I had to work late on Monday night at a Financial Aid Night at Milligan College and we had gymnastics last night. My plan was to get up early in the morning and make sure that the tooth fairy had stopped by to collect the tooth and leave a surprise.

Needless to say, I felt like I had been hit by a truck this morning and I forgot. I realized that I forgot when a very disappointed McKenzie said "She didn't come." I quickly realized my error and let her know that I had been in the kitchen to turn on the iron and I thought that the tooth fairy had left something for her in there. I instructed her to get her clothes on quickly so that she could come check it out.

I quickly grabbed the notepad on the fridge, disguised my handwriting and wrote a note from the tooth fairy explaining that she left the surprise in the kitchen because she saw how tired McKenzie was and she didn't want to wake her. What had the potential to be a huge disaster was averted and McKenzie skipped back to the bedroom to show McKaleb the money she got for her tooth.

I told McKenzie that we would put the tooth back in the pillow and that the tooth fairy would pick it up tonight since the tooth fairy wouldn't have to worry about waking her up since it is the night she stays over with her dad. Boy am I glad that she accepted that without question. It was awful to hear her disappointed little voice. She was happy after she got her personal note though.

Keep me in your prayers over the next few weeks. Today it has been 10 years since my first date with Lucas. Obviously a lot has changed in the last 10 years and not all for the best. December has always been a rough time for me since I have Peter Pan syndrome and don't want to grow up or things to change. Unfortunately everything changes. I remember being upset over growing up when I was 10 years old. Since my birthday is in December and New Years is right around the corner, it has always made this a difficult time of year.

Thanks in advance for the prayers. I hope you all are having a good week!
