The Tooth Fairy Arrives!

As you all know, Jacqui lost her tooth yesterday. She was waiting all day to see the Tooth Fairy. We decided to go to the park as a form of redirection, and had a nice little picnic with Hank. Jacqui played in the water park and on the jungle gym for hours. Today, we finally got home and she was asleep in the car. I carried her into the house and laid her in her bed and she was completely out. She wiggled around in her bed and moved her arm up under her pillow and immediately was wide awake. She felt all the coins under there and jumped out of bed and started screaming bloody murder! She was yelling "Mom, Mom, Come and look, you have to see this!!!" She was so excited she took all the money (a handful of pennies, nickels, and dimes) and proudly showed it off and then put them one by one into her piggy bank, grinning ear to ear the entire time. After she had ceremoniously put all the coins into the bank, she came to me and said "Mom, I am such a lucky girl, this is the best day of my life!" Well, there you have it, from the mouth of a 5 year old, the best day of her life. She is so excited to have the tooth fairy visit and take her tooth and wanted everyone to know 'what a lucky girl' she is.
