Hailey has had a loose tooth since last Tuesday. This is her first tooth to come out. She was so excited when she woke up on the 23rd. She couldn't wait to spread the news. We made a call to her daddy but it went to his voice mail. So we made other calls. Smokey was the first to hear all about it and it was his birthday too! We eventually caught up with Brady but he had already heard. We ran errands and went out to dinner. Everyone got to hear about her loose tooth. I loved seeing how excited she was about this. She has dreamed about losing her first tooth since seeing episodes on Little Bear and Arthur. Brady asked her last week if he could pull it out and she was willing - pliers and all. It needed more time though. Tonight it was loose. Not hanging by a thread loose but loose. She showed us and Brady asked her again and she wanted him to yank it out. I always disliked that feeling. She knows the next step is the Tooth Fairy! Brady told her what he was going to do and she was good about the whole deal. It didn't seem to phase her a bit. A paper towel was put in and she went and checked out her new smile in the mirror. After taking pictures, the tooth was placed in a little ziplock bag and placed in a pillow. Brady and Hailey found this pillow in the attic months ago so I washed it and set it aside. I think it was Kelsey's. We will have to pass it along now!

Before going to bed, we talked a lot about what the Tooth Fairy is like, where she keeps the teeth, how she gets the tooth out without you knowing, etc. It was fun to hear her ideas and Brady's. She wanted to make a wish on the brightest star but she couldn't see one from the window. So we all trekked out to the street at 11:30 pm and found the brightest star. She made her wish. I wish I knew what she wished for. She keeps a mean secret. She knows if you tell they won't come true. She does tell me once in awhile they haven't come true yet. I wish I knew what goes through her head. After our nightly routine, she fell asleep fast. After all, it was pretty late. Time passed by really quickly tonight! 

BEFORE PICTURES!

 She really didn't need the paper towel. It didn't bleed that much.

Tooth all safe and under the pillow! She is actually asleep in the last picture.

The Tooth Fairy Pillow! I put her tooth in a tiny zip lock bag that buttons come in when you buy clothes. Glad I saved these!

 The Tooth Fairy Came! She brought 5 quarters (because she is 5) and 1 dollar bill (because it is her first tooth). That is what we all deducted!

After talking with her daddy, Hailey went to the bedroom to look for evidence of if she came through the roof or the window. Hailey found PIXIE DUST! She loved the sparkles and tiny foot prints.  Love you Hailey Rae!
