Busy Tooth Fairy

The tooth fairy knows our house well by now. Atticus had so many loose teeth for so long, that I joked that every night she must fly by our house to give it a sniff to see if the tooth is yet gone.

She visited twice in February, and she couldn't come quick enough that second time.

We're talking about Atticus's two top front teeth. The first one came out and that must have been all that the second one was holding onto. Suddenly that second tooth was barely hanging on, all lop-sided and diagonal. It had to have been the very definition of a snaggletooth.

But now that they are both gone ... oh so cute. Now I tell him that it's a good thing he has to wear a mask all day at school -- if his teacher saw such an abundance of cuteness, she would be sure to give him recess all day or whatever else he wanted. A bottom tooth is currently growing in as well, but there's no signs at all of his new top ones.

Christmas has long passed, but his birthday is a month away -- two front teeth may be what he needs to ask for.

No other loose teeth at the moment. That's -4 for Atticus, and Edith is at -8.

Snaggletooth ...

... to cuteness overload!
