a visit from the tooth fairy...

well, our not even kindergartener has recently received a visit from the tooth fairy. actually, the tooth fairy has come three times in a little over a month!! i just can't believe how fast the teeth a falling out!!

it all started on spring break when olivia's middle bottom tooth came out while she was eating a granola bar. this one took me completely by surprise. she had been telling me it was loose, but i had no idea it was that loose!!

then about a week ago the top ones started getting really wiggly. of course, she didn't stop touching them so those babies were ready. sunday night she pulled out top tooth number one. :)

the tooth fairy was very generous when she made her visit to take this tooth. $5!!! she was so excited and came running out the next morning to share her loot!!

after the first top tooth was out the other one loosened up very quickly and became a snaggle tooth for a few days. then on thursday morning at school, olivia let her teacher pull it out. 2 front teeth out in less than a week!! the tooth fairy's budget did not have time to recover and left her $2. i thought that was great, but she and daddy were both disappointed. geesh!!

it has been really fun to hit this milestone and relive the excitement of visits from the tooth fairy. this is the beginning of so much transition that is on our horizon. kindergarten in the fall and now her appearance, as well as her attitude, maturing from a little girl to big girl. a part of me wants to be sad and hold on to my little girl, but i know that god has great plans for her and the woman she will one day become, so i am thankful that i get a front row seat and have the opportunity to be apart of her journey.
