Lucy lost her fourth tooth 2 nights ago. This tooth made her toothless on the top.
She isn't particularly fond of pulling her teeth out so there is always quite a bit of drama to get it out, but once she does she is very excited for a visit from the tooth fairy. This is the second tooth she has lost since we have arrived in Korea and so far the tooth fairy is 0 for 2 in coming on time to Korea. The first time she didn't show up we decided it was because we had just moved to Korea and she hadn't gotten updated records with our new address yet. But the second time we knew that wasn't the case, so we weren't sure why she didn't show up. (We blamed it on the terrible rain we had gotten that day.) Thankfully, she showed up last night and she brought Lucy a special certificate. This is the first time we have ever received a certificate from the tooth fairy that has the "Official Visit From the Tooth Fairy" seal on it.
The tooth fairy must have felt terrible because she also gave Lucy a little extra money for this tooth. In her letter she told Lucy she was in a hurry which is why there was "fairy dust" all over the place in Lucy's room. Lucy was very excited to see all the glitter like powder sprinkled in a path from her bed to her window.
I really hope that from here on out the tooth fairy is a little more on the ball. It has to be costing her a fortune to make up for her tardiness. And I'm sure that certificate took quite a bit of time to make. (I mean, have any of your children ever received a certificate from the tooth fairy with the official seal on it?) But then again seeing the smile on Lucy's face when she wakes up makes it all worth while.
