tooth
BB lost another tooth yesterday. He’s seems to be good at losing teeth on memorable days. He lost his first tooth on his fifth birthday. And now, his third tooth came out on Independence Day. Lucky for the tooth fairy, the fireworks and general mayhem were sufficient excuse to postpone for another day the ritual of leaving the tooth under the pillow in the hopes that the tooth fairy would visit.
We didn’t have a proper tooth fairy pillow or pouch, and I had a day off from work, so it was a good opportunity for a family project!

I have plenty of scraps on hand, and of course the services of a very capable and prolific artist at my beck and call.

He kept telling me it wasn’t going to work, as he watched me cut pieces out. He needs to work on his visionary skills.

Now that I compare pictures, I can see that I didn’t get it quite right. I was originally planning to use the sewing machine, and the body would have turned out more circular, but I ended up changing my mind and using hand stitching, and I see that I forgot to gather the base to give it more of a circular look. The artist, however, is quite pleased. The tooth is placed safely in the pouch (on the back side), ready for the tooth fairy to visit.

Look at this wide eyed food faced grubby toothless monster boy! We must now hope that the tooth fairy has cash on hand so she won’t have to leave an IOU note.
