Missing tooth

Kenzie lost her first tooth July 10th 2010 but I didn't have a blog back then so the event wasn't documented. I decided that I would try to go back and do a few moments when I had the time. Here's how the story went:
Kenzie was home with her dad and watching TV before bed. She had been chewing on the throw cushion on the couch. She then went outside where Cory had been cutting the grass. He looked at her and said 'where is your tooth?' to which she replied 'I DON'T KNOW!!' I think a small amount of panic set in both of them as they frantically looked for the missing tooth. Cory said that he thought she had knocked it out prematurely and he was going to have to keep it in milk until emergency surgery could be performed. I got the phone call that the tooth was out, they had located it but what should they do now!
Holly: Was it one of the front teeth?
Cory: yes!
Holly: is it totally out?
Cory: yes!
Holly: Was there a little blood?
Cory: yes!
Holly: so one of the baby teeth has come out cleanly with no break?
Cory: YES!
Holly: Well then all is fine, she is getting older and her baby teeth are going to fall out.
Cory: silence

Poor Cory, in his beautiful world of denial where his little girl is never going to grown up, he is faced with the first tangible evidence in his hand, waiting to be put under her pillow, that she is no longer a baby.

The tooth fairy wrote Kenzie a nice letter and his assistant tape a toonie to the letter. The assistant put the letter in Kenzie's room but in the morning when Kenzie showed it to us I realized that the tooth fairy was a real softy and added another toonie to the letter. I guess when you loose your first tooth on Daddy's watch you get 4 bucks!!

The other note worthy part of this story is that Kenzie woke 3 times with nightmares that night worrying about the Tooth Fairy coming so we have decided that the tooth fairy will come to our house when she is at school from now on. She is much happier with that deal.
