The tooth fairy finally visits Michael

Michael finally wiggled his first tooth out. He just turned 7 and just finished 1st grade. He's been waiting since last year, when all of his friends started losing their teeth. He was so excited to finally get a visit from the tooth fairy, that he put the tooth under his pillow at 1pm! When we finally tucked him into bed (many, many hours later) we looked under his pillow and the tooth was gone! Really, and there was no money there either. He was so upset. So, I did what any good mommy would do. I set up a search crew and went on a mission to find it. It was already past bed time, but I couldn't disappoint him. So, we ripped his bed apart. We started with the sheets and blankets and then ended up lifting and moving his whole mattress. The problem was his tooth was the same color as his carpet. So, I got down on my hands and knees with a flashlight. (I was cursing my decision to put in dim "relaxing" lighting in his room) Finally my hands felt something hard..I had finally found it. Michael was so excited! We got his bed all made up again and tucked our toothless little boy in for the night. In the morning he ran downstairs to tell us that the tooth fairy had left him a dollar, and her glitter all over the bed.. (what a creative little tooth fairy he has). Here's my beautiful Michael with his first missing tooth! Here's to many more!
