The Tooth Fairy Broke In!

Today at school, Emma bit into a carrot and lost her first tooth!



Ironically, on Saturday, she asked me how much longer it would be until we could pull it out. I gave her my usual canned response for her incessant line of questioning..."In a few days".

She counted and said, "Okay, in three days it will be Tuesday".

Now she thinks I'm a genius and believes everything I say. Finally, someone to appreciate my glorious wisdom.



Usually, the kids are in bed around 8:30. However, since Disneyland Jeremy was in charge tonight, they went to bed much later. When I got home, I was exhausted, and wanted the Tooth Fairy to make the 'ol switcheroo so I could crash. I checked on them to see if they were asleep, but they were still awake. I decided to get ready for bed, surf the net, and watch my stories.

Around 11:00, I was beat and felt like it was safe to go in....

...and then the security system went off!

...and then I peed a little...

After speaking with the alarm company, doing a survey of the house, and changing my pants, I had to start all over again on the sleep watch. So now here I am trying to pass the time away.

Here are some things I learned today:
1) My little girl is growing up and is as cute as ever.
2) Don't set the alarm when you are expecting the Tooth Fairy.
3) Always pee before bed.

You know my kids go to sleep between 10:00PM and 11:00PM. Your mom told me all about your angels that go to bed perfectly and I am completely jealous. Anyways, by the time they are finally asleep the tooth fairy forgets to come or leaves money without taking the tooth. I can't imagine what would happen if I had to remember to turn off an alarm for the tooth fairy. The kids would never get money.
