Missing Teeth!

It finally happened!  The wiggly tooth that has been the focus of Brenna's attention since she first found out that it was wiggly, finally came out!   It happened at school after she took a bite of an apple.  Needless to say, Brenna was very excited to share her news when she got home from school that day. It was of course extra special for Brenna because she was the first to lose a tooth, not Brody!  Not to be outdone, Brody lost his first tooth five days later.  I needed a little tooth fairy 101 that first evening. Does the tooth fairy take the tooth or leave it? How much should the tooth fairy leave? Then came the moment of sneaking into the room to get the tooth from under the pillow. I was actually scared thinking about getting busted by Brenna or Brody.  How would I explain being in their room with my hand under her pillow? The next morning I did find out from Brenna and Brody that of course the tooth fairy takes the teeth because she uses them to build a wall of teeth. Who knew?  

It really seems like yesterday that I was waiting for Brenna and Brody's teeth to come in.  Now those little baby teeth that I eagerly anticipated are falling out.  I guess it's just another reminder that my babies are growing up,  Speaking of growing up, they have been in kindergarten for 100 days!!   They are more than half way done with kindergarten.  This, of course, makes me sad because it again reminds me that they are growing up, and at times, it seems like they are growing up too quickly.
