Elena's lost tooth!!!!! 1/17

Elena lost her first tooth without any fanfare. At some point on the 17th of January, Auntie noticed a big gap (bigger than usual) in her mouth. Then we got Elena's story: she lost a tooth and put it in the trash.
Oh Elena! Did you even know it was loose? Why didn't you tell anyone? This is an exciting event! Where did you put the tooth again? (Mommy contemplates the possibility of digging the treasured keepsake out of the trash - arg! no luck!)

After the third degree, we told Elena all about the tooth fairy and the wondrous gifts of cash she brings! Hmmm... the Knot Fairy is still alive in her mind and Elena does not show any excitement for a little creature to enter her room and mess with the pillow her head will be on. To avoid restless sleep, Auntie helps her make a little tooth shaped envelope to hang on her door. It worked! The tooth fairy left $2! Probably would have been more if there was an actual tooth...

Elena's new tooth has already started coming in, and her other bottom front tooth is loose now too. Anyone got an apple?
