The Tooth Fairy and Back to School

The tooth fairy has been busy at our house lately. Braden lost one of his front teeth when he was three and we had a 'fake tooth' put in there at the suggestion of the dentist. They took the tooth out last October when he lost his other front tooth. We have been patiently waiting for his new front teeth to come in, but they have not. When we went to the dentist last month, she said that he needed to loose the teeth beside the front teeth, so that the new teeth would have room. Well, yesterday, he finally lost his other tooth in the car on the way home from Athens. So Braden has three gaps in the front of his mouth. Talk about toothless. Yesterday he told me he just wanted to eat Chicken Noodle Soup until all his teeth came in. So, the tooth fairy came last night with a dollar and a 50 cent piece. When I was little, we got Susan B. Anthony dollars. I hope the tooth fairy can find those things........they were great!




Braden is getting ready for his first day of first grade. We went shopping on Monday to get the last few things for school. This year he has to wear a uniform which consists of a collered shirt and solid colored pants/shorts. Braden is excited to start school. For once, he really cares about what he wears. I can usually pick out his clothes and he will just put them on. At the mall, he wanted to pick out his shirts and shorts. He even wanted to try everything on!!! My baby is growing up.


His teacher this year, Ms. Joan, called tonight to say he would be in her class. His kindergarten teacher is teaching a K-5/1st grade mixed class this year, so Braden wanted her again, but I am delighted that he got Mrs. Joan. Tomorrow is a parent meeting and Thursday is Open House. I pray this year will be a great year and that Braden will continue to be a sweet, caring little boy!
