The Tooth (Behind the Scenes)

My life is lived behind the scenes ... you know, in the real that is behind the picture you post without commentary?  My friend Crystal decided it would be fun for us to share REAL with each other. It's fun to find solidarity in the reality behind the pictures. So this week, decided I would share one, too.


The Photo:


The story: A's first tooth came out at the end of one of the longest weeks EVER. We'd all had the stomach bug, which gave me umpteen extra loads of laundry. That I had not had time to fold. And left me so wiped out that I could hardly to get her tooth under the pillow, much less hunt down the tooth fairy and have her arrive. Somehow in my exhaustion I managed to get it done. And then my precious A, my dearest child who sleeps like her Uncle and NEVER gets up too early unless prodded by her big sister, she decided that 5:02 AM on a Saturday was the time to announce the tooth fairy had come, and left her moneys. She came in my room, climbed up on the bed, got right in my sleeping face and at the top of her lungs proclaimed: "Mama, you HAVE TO SEE IT NOW! IT IS THE BEST! WHO IS THIS GUY? ISN'T IT SO SPARKLY?!?! TAKE A PICTURE PLEEEEEEEASE!!!!!"

      Thanks :) I got a nap later. She snuggled (AKA wiggled and smiled at that dollar) with me in the AM so that was a lost cause. tee-hee.

    Sarah's first tooth fairy visit was helped along by the dentist and a nasty fall in March. The second was helped by a tube ride along the Potomac. Looking forward to a more "normal" experience.
