For the second time this year, the tooth fairy will be visiting our house. This time it was forced. Stephen had an opening in hygiene today and it was time for Cavett to have his cleaned. After his cleaning and exam with no cavities, it was pretty clear that the lower tooth he had been wiggling for several months needed to come out. His adult tooth was coming in too far behind. I am so proud of Cavett. I sat with him as Dad was ever so gentle and very strategic in word and needle as he numbed Cavett up. Cavett said the first little bit of medicine gave him a little pinch, but he didn't feel it the second or third time and that it felt really funny and fat after a bit. The "pliers" were grabbed, a bit of blood showed; I became queasy and sat down on the chair with Cavett. The tooth still had a pretty good root on it. Next came the "scaler" and more blood; I was light-headed. The whole time Cavett is cool as a cucumber. The tooth came out and that is when it really hit me, but "whew" it was over!
The good news is: when you have to get a tooth pulled at the dentist, the tooth fairy brings you more money. We'll see how much there is in the "tooth fairy" wallet...
On another note, both boys belt tested today in Karate. Cavett is now a Camoflouge belt and will go to a new class. Kendrick is now an orange Tiger belt. This means more time doing after school activites and waiting for classes, since there is not enough time to go home and come back between classes since they aren't back to back....

Hi! How much did you earn from the tooth fairy? It's true! If you give her more teeth, she'll give you more money. :D
