Tooth Fairy Duties...

This week turned out to be quite the busy week for the tooth fairy!

Alexander lost his first tooth Monday morning while brushing his teeth. Then he lost his 2nd tooth during lunch, the same day! He thinks he swallowed it while eating because he never found it.

So the Tooth Fairy paid a visit Monday night - bringing a note, some fairy dust and two crisp $2 bills. One for each tooth.

THEN...he lost his third tooth!

He was out playing on the playground and thinks he pushed it out with his tongue (it didn't have the other two teeth for support). This was on Tuesday but because we had no tooth, we couldn't tell.

Wednesday night, Alexander & I did a little tooth-counting exercise and confirmed he did in fact lose another tooth, for a total of 3.

The Tooth Fairy came again and left another crisp $2 bill.

I have a feeling now that they have started coming out, they might all just start falling out at once. I hope the Tooth Fairy is prepared and loaded up with fairy dust!

Finally...

Finally...the last of the pesky teeth are breaking through!!

His last three teeth are coming in. Soon enough, he'll have a full set of teeth! Hopefully he gets to keep these for a bit before they start falling out!

Teeth...

In case I haven't mentioned this yet, his top molars have broken through and are really starting to come in. His bottom molars are just now starting to break through...

I've been able to feel out his teeth because he'll let me "tickle his teeth" which is basically me feeling his gums for teeth...

New Teeth...

Finally...Alexander will have more than 4 teeth!

Daddy noticed that 2 more top teeth are coming in next to his front teeth. Hopefully this means the rest will start to break though soon!

TEEF...

Here's the only shot I could get which showcases all 4 of his teeth in their current stage...

Please pardon the chocolate chip cookie mess around them...
