It's a first at the Arnold house!

Hunter was so excited to lose his first tooth. He couldn't stand that it was loose so he went up to his room and wiggled it until it fell out. As you can see from the picture he was quite proud of his accomplishment! :)
He carefully placed the tooth into his tooth fairy pillow at bedtime.
He woke up the next morning to a $2.75 surprise!

wow!! $2.75, I remember the days when the tooth fairy gave a quarter!!

Teresa, I have tried twice to email you and each time it bounces back saying "delivery failure." I am going to post my phone # on the yahoo group for you and you can call me with any questions...I don't know why it's been so goofy and won't get the email to you.

okay, first...you were prepared enough to have a 'tooth fairy pillow'? what the heck kind of slacker am i? although, that would sure eliminate the frantic wondering if the tooth would get lost under the regular pillow.

and $2.75? where did you come up with that? was that the extra change in robb's pockets at the end of the day?

congratulations hunter~

HJ,
I had found this lady awhile back that was making these tooth fairy pillows to raise $ for her adoption. I bought one for each of the kids....so cute.
Yeah, the $2.75 was what I found. It was actually one dollar bill, a gold coin dollar and 3 quarters. The tooth fairy pillow was PACKED! :)

WOO-HOO!

So... I'm assuming Hunter will use the $2.75 to buy Ruby a welcome home gift ?????

Whoa, my kids never got a visit from the tooth fairy. It's a good thing because at one point one of them lost 6 teeth all at once. I think the tooth fairy would have gone broke at $2.75 a tooth.

It's so fun losing that first tooth. Woohoo for Hunter!

You must have a better tooth fairy than us! Never fails and she forgets to visit that night and then feels pressured to make up for her short comings. Way to go Hunter!!!
