It happened while we were in Montana. In fact, it was in the church of a small branch in a small town called Harlowton. This is the town Brian's dad grew up in and we were there visiting with him for his high school reunion. Grandad wiggled Paige's tooth and it ended up on the floor. It was definitely ready to come. Her new tooth was already all the way up behind the baby teeth. Well, Paige was so excited! Of course she went around telling everybody all about it.
Although she wasn't quite prepared (with us on vacation) the tooth fairy tracked us down and slipped a dollar bill under Paige's pillow that night. Paige had written a note to the tooth fairy asking if she could keep her tooth, and her wish was granted.
Paige's second tooth came out the very next Sunday in Grandad's fingers again! This time the Tooth Fairy remembered how much Paige loves to draw and gave her a new set of markers under her pillow. Perfectly executed!
Paige didn't really get to have a gappy smile because her permanent teeth were already there waiting their turn to grin. But the fun part was that she still spoke with a bit of a lisp for a few weeks while she was getting used to the new positioning.

What a cute little smile! Loved hearing that lisp while we were there. I guess Cloey is a late comer. She has her very first loose tooth right now with no other teeth poking through. Crazy how everyone is different. And... I LOVE the idea of markers. The tooth fairy better remember that for Cloey for sure!!
