The Lindenbergs

Anna lost her first tooth last Thursday. She was very excited. She's been watching Pierce enviously for the last couple of years as he's lost tooth after tooth. Interestingly, the loose tooth snuck up on us. Anna had a loose top tooth that she got from a soccer collision. Fortunately it tightened back up (we think). Then on Tuesday Anna claimed her bottom tooth was "very, very loose. Loose? It was practically falling over. Anna gave it some serious wiggle time and enjoyed showing it off to anyone (including complete strangers).

When it finally came out, with some assistance from Nora, Anna kept repeating, "My tooth is soooo beautiful". Thursday evening Nora and I went to a wine and cheese party with the other parents of Phoenix Montessori school and after paying the babysitter, had no $1 bills left. So Anna got 3 quarters, two dimes and a nickel from the tooth fairy. She was so excited that the tooth fairy visited she didn't even care about the actual figure -she's telling everyone that she got "One money".
