Tooth Fairy gets laid off...

The tooth fairy is officially laid off in our household...at least until Ashley & Joely start loosing teeth.

Last night Aly pulled her 8th tooth out of her mouth, that's right, 8 lost teeth since this summer! Aly shows us her tooth and then Ashley throws herself on the couch, pouting saying "no fair, Aly is going to be rich"!

Fast forward to 5:45 this morning. I'm reading, drinking coffee and working on waking up. Aly comes downstairs bawling her eyeballs out because she forgot to put her tooth under her pillow and the last place she remembered seeing it was on the kitchen table at dinner time and now it's not there. I'm thinking to myself, man, I really suck at this tooth fairy thing. So we go into the room and wake Corey up since he cleaned up after dinner and of course he says, I haven't seen it (he probably thought it was a crumb and threw it away while he was wiping up the table). Honestly, if I have to have the bad tooth fairy reputation so does he!

So Aly is stressing about her lost tooth and finally I set her aside and said, Mommy and Daddy love you so much, we are the tooth fairy...and remember how you found out this Christmas that there is no Santa? Well, there's no Easter Bunny either. She's like "Really Mom?" I then said, "just think, when you have kids you get to be the tooth fairy, easter bunny and Santa". To which she replied "Eww, I'm not having kids...they come out of your China, I'm not having any kids come out of mine".

Nice!

So, I'm thinking at this point that she probably needs to borrow Opi's teeth! How many teeth does an almost 7 year old have? WOW! Now wonder Ashley's upset! Did you read my comment about my friend Karina and her daughter Paitin, on FB?

Love you guys! MUAH! 3 more weeks!
Love, Mom/GIGI

Too funny! Do you freak out when she says stuff about not having kids? I know it's ridiculous, but I get REALLY upset when Hayden says she's not having kids. Yes, she's 5-years-old. There's a good chance she will change her mind. There's a better chance she will change her mind if I don't make an issue of it. I can't help it, though. I freak out a little! I know, ridiculous!
