Month of Thanks- Day 18

Well last night something VERY exciting happened in the Stein Family!! Laney Beth lost her first tooth ever!!! It has been a little loose for a long time but on Wednesday night she came running in my office to show me that it was just barely hanging there. She wiggled and pulled but it didn't come out that night. We were kind of worried she'd swallow it in her sleep!



We sent her to school on Thursday and Brandon asked her not to try to get it out because he wanted to be there when it happened :) So sweet! I texted her teacher about half way through the day to ask her to send me a picture if she happened to lose it at school. She said it was still there hangin' by a thread!

It worked out great because we had the World Prematurity Day Party that night so my family was all together. Daddy finally talked Laney in to letting him put a string around it and letting her wiggle it. So she sat in his lap while he put the purple string (cause purple is the world preemie day color, ya know!) and he finally got it wrapped around it and told her to look up and when she did he pulled a little and it popped right out! SO funny! She was beyond excited!!


She put her tooth in a baggie with a string and wrote "Leave me $100 or else." Uncle Dustin may have helped her with what to say ;)




Nana and Pepaw gave her a dollar



And Uncle Jeff and Aunt Holly gave her some quarter!
She could not wait to get home and put it under her pillow!




Mommy and Daddy were a little sad that their first baby is getting so sad! It seems like just yesterday that we were WAITING on that sweet little tooth to pop out of her gums! :(

We heard the tooth fairy had a bit of a hard time putting a letter and some money under her pillow because she kept moving. Little fairy's heart was about to thump out of her chest. Wink. ;)

She got in to our bed sometime during the night so when it was time to wake up her eyes flew open and she took off running to her bed to find her surprises under her pillow!

I have a video of everything she found and all that happened and as soon as I figure out how to transfer it from my phone to this blog, I will post it :) She found a chocolate bar, some cash, and EVEN a letter from the tooth fairy! Of course, there was some glitter sprinkled on everything. Such a fun time! So proud of you Laney Beth!

Today I am thankful for sweet memories and even sweeter kids!
