Jayden's toothless grin sure has been adorable lately!! It all started at the end of June (2008) when his first tooth was getting loose. He was sooo excited to put it in his tooth fairy pillow with a note that said if he got 3 dollars he'd share with his brother and sister. I suppose the tooth fairy was a "softie" and gave into his plea because the next day 3 magic dollars appeared under his pillow. Needless to say, Kaylee and Tyler were excited for him to loose another tooth!
A month later, on July 4th we were sitting with friends waiting to watch the fireworks and Blake's Grandpa, (a friend) was talking about how the toothfairy left Blake some money in the van just a minute ago. Jayden overheard the story and started yanking out his bottom loose tooth as fast as possible. He wiggled it and twisted it until finally the small tooth was ruthlessly yanked out. He showed the mini-calcified specimen to Blake's Grandpa and asked him if the toothfairy had another dollar in the van for him. ?? He kindly said that the toothfairy told him there was, indeed, another dollar just for him hiding in the back of the van. I never saw a boy more motivated to get a dollar from the tooth fairy in my life. After cleaning up the spurts of blood, Jayden tucked the dollar carefully away in his pocket and smiled big!!!
