Bad Mama!

Noah lost another tooth yesterday. His fourth already! It was in the middle of dinner (it was really disgusting how it happened, actually). Noah was eating grapes and plain toast (one of his first 'meals' after recovering from the 'throw-up bug'). All of a sudden he said, "yuck! there is something crunchy in here!" and he spit out his grape.

Guess what it was?

You guessed it...his tooth!

So, I took the tooth and put it on top of my planner on the kitchen counter, all the while thinking to myself....I hope we don't lose it....this isn't a great place to put this thing.

Guess what again?!

Yes, we lost it.

I don't know if it happened when the kids were swinging the blanket around, or when I moved my planner to look something up, or when I wiped the counter with the dish cloth and then shook it in the sink. I had to do some damage control when Noah realized it was missing. The tears started coming.

This was the solution.

Fortunately, the tooth fairy is a very reasonable kinda girl....and Noah still got his five dollars. :)
