McKel Loses her First Tooth!!

First off, an adorable Keeney pic just because...

look at this boy!  He knows how to say "Bru!"  That means brush.  He likes to brush his teeth mostly - so Mike got him a toothbrush.  

McKel had a VERY wiggly tooth.  She kept pulling on it trying to get it out.  Mike told her to use some dental floss and wrap it around the tooth and pull.  She tried that but it didn't work.  So she just yanked it.  Out it came!  She was pretty excited about it.

McKel was upset about the tooth fairy taking her precious tooth.  Therefore, she wrote a nice note to the tooth fairy to put under her pillow with the tooth.  She asked the tooth fairy to please not take her tooth but to pay her anyway.

McKel's note

I cannot believe what happened next.  The tooth fairy did not show up!!  The tooth fairy (me) fell asleep while waiting to make sure the McKel was asleep.  McKel got up the next morning bright and early, yelling, "The tooth fairy forgot to come!!"  Mike had a quick response luckily, and said that it was probably because of the snow storm.  Yes, that must be it!  So the next night the tooth fairy paid McKel a little extra $$ for the trouble and left a note:

I still can't believe I forgot.  What a horrible mom I feel like... and on her first tooth!!

McKel didn't seem too bothered.  She was happy to get the extra dollar and to get to keep her tooth.
