Mallorie Lost a Tooth

Mallorie just lost her first tooth in November. I believe she and Kolby were the last kids in the 2nd grade with all of their baby teeth still (and Kolby still doesn't even have one that is the least little bit loose). Mallorie was so excited to lose her first tooth, that she'd ask me to wiggle it at least every 20 minutes to see if it was "wigglier" than before. When it was finally loose enough, she let Jeremy tie the little tooth to the front door with dental floss. Jeremy was a little scared to do the job, but she was so brave. When Jeremy very apprehensively slammed the door shut, the tooth went flying and we couldn't find it. We looked around on the floor with flashlights for nearly 30 minutes, but never did find it. I felt bad for her that we had lost it, especially since this was her first one. Later that night, however I spotted a little white thing on the area rug in front of the couch. I had just vacuumed earlier that day, so I knew the rug shouldn't have any crumbs or fuzz on it. Sure enough it was the tooth. It is quite a distance from the front door to the rug in front of the couch. We didn't even look over there because we never thought it would have flown so far. The tooth fairy brought her money that night, and she said she was going to save it to buy a Christmas present for her brother. She has another tooth that is loose too now, but she is not nearly as excited to lose it. She hasn't been wiggling it hardly at all.
