Keeping the Fairy in Business

A couple of weeks ago Ally lost her 3rd tooth...AT SCHOOL!  Oh the pure joy.  She had been hoping, probably even praying, that she'd lose her tooth at school.  Why, you ask?  Because when you lose a tooth at school, you get to bring it home in a little tooth-shaped box on a necklace, that's why!

Here's is our sweet six-year-old, showing off the third hole in her mouth AND the precious necklace.

(You can almost make out the hole, just to the right of the center on the bottom.)

And if THAT weren't enough, Ally bounded out of school today wearing ANOTHER toothy necklace!  Yep, you've got it, the girl lost her fourth tooth.  At school.  During gym.  Oh my sweet stars.  (Seriously, you would have thought she had been given an endless supply of Polly Pockets, she was so thrilled.)  This time the tooth is just to the left of the center teeth on the bottom.

She wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy.

Let me interpret the picture for you.  That's the fairy in the center.  The kinda-creepy-looking head is Allyson sleeping on a deflated-balloon-looking pillow.  And yes, that's $5 under the pillow.  Uh, can you say wishful thinking?  For the record, the fairy that services our neighborhood does not have that kind of dough.
