Christmas wishes
My baby might be wishing for her 2 front teeth by Christmas-time... last night she showed me that they're a little bit loose! She seems a little behind others her age in losing teeth, but we expected that - she cut her teeth late (parents will get this: she was around 14 or 15 months & the first one was a bottom molar!) (or was it a cuspid? I can't remember off-hand!). We were told with her preemie factor it could be "normal" - and that from cutting them late, she'll probably lose them late. According to the American Dental Association, the normal range for shedding the incisors is from 6-7 yrs.old (see chart. Kirsten turned 7 at the end of July, so it's not as far off as I was expecting! She's so excited, and I think I am, too!
I'm creatively using this to help her clean her teeth more now. I told her this morning that she needs to keep brushing her teeth - that the Tooth Fairy pays more for clean teeth! LOL I think it might work!!!
Now, how much does the T.F. dish out these days for the pearly whites?!?

It's insane, actually. I think the tooth fairy at this house gave more for the first one...maybe $2-$3 bucks, but "she" usually made it special and gave it in gold dollars...seems more special than paper bills. Yay Kirsten!! :)
I remember getting no more than $1 growing up, but there is inflation! I too have heard about the Tooth Fairy giving gold coins and think that is GREAT! I wish I had beed paid that way! Keep brushing Kirsten!
