We have entered the phase of "monetary compensation for your loss." Taylor has LOST her two top teeth and has FOUND that it is to her benefit that the toothfairy very rarely has change for a $5. We quickly explained that her new form of income is not viable in the long term, as the tooth fairy only rewards the top two more greatly, as they are the most noticeable. We then had to reiterate this fact when tonight, as she was sitting on the couch, she was trying to loosen another tooth by slugging herself in the mouth, in hopes for another visit from her nocturnal friend! Peter was so proud. She hasn't decided how to "invest" her new found earnings, but has mentioned that it is between some sort of barbie and buying a tent for the "poor christians" in India. (Church missions project). Aunt Alicia was pleased to discover that her "S" sound was only minimally affected by her losses. Peter and I just can't believe that she is growing up so fast! Each time she looses a tooth, we hold it in our hands and reminisce about the day that tooth came in. Morbid, I know, but makes us realize that we only have her for a season, and that season goes by pretty darn fast!
