First Lost Tooth!

Yesterday, Brendan lost his FIRST tooth at school, and I mean LOST it!! According to him, he was feeling it with his tongue on the way to the car rider line, and it was there, and went to feel it again, and it was GONE!! When I picked him up he was SOO upset!! We walked down the breezeway where he thought he might have lost it to try and find it, but between the pebbles and dirt and gravel, and other miscellaneous items, we were unable to find it..:(Sucks cause I save them all so I was JUST as bummed as he was!! He was upset because he said " Now the Tooth Fairy isn't going to bring me any money because I don't have a tooth for him! " I told him "the Tooth Fairy has a special bell that goes off  when a tooth falls out so he knows who to go to, so he already knows to come visit you.."and said " I'm sure he'll leave you a little extra something for going through all that trouble to try and find the tooth for him" and that " I'm sure you're not the first child this has happenned to " and proceeded to tell him about his cousin Max who one tooth went down the drain when he went to rinse it, and Someone else I know swallowed theirs! So he started feeling a little better  after hearing that! ;) So of course, the kids go to bed, and Tom & I find we have NO cash on us! I mean of COURSE we have no cash! why WOULD we have cash when the Tooth Fairy is supposed to visit? UHGH. So I went to the ATM, but all you can take out is 20's, so I bought Tom some coffee for the morning and gave Brendan the rest so all hope wasnt lost like his tooth! ;) It was his first one, so it was a little much, but next one will be a little less.. { he's had his eye on a Bionicle toy that costs 7.99, but now wants the bigger model so is gonna save his Tooth Fairy money, chore money , piggy bank money etc..n save up n buy it.. smart kid! Wish I was that good w money at his age! all I wanted was a Snickers or Laffy Taffy! LOL Someone mentioned giving a toothbrush as a prize , so next time Im gonna incorporate it when the next one falls out..;)
