From the Highest High.....

To the lowest low. All in a small span of less than 24 hours.

Yesterday I blogged about Caden losing his very first tooth. He was so beyond excited. He got up this morning and was thrilled to claim his treasure from the Tooth Fairy. I don't make any bones about who the Tooth Fairy is. He totally knows that it is me. So, he was pretty stoked.

As we were headed out the door this morning, he asked for his tooth back. He desperately wanted to take his "trophy" to school and show it all around. I highly advised against it. But, with a tooth in one hand...and his money in the other, he trotted off to school.

Surprisingly, he made it home with the tooth and money still in hand. He declared that everyone just had to look at it.

Somehow...throughout the course of the evening, that tooth somehow broke free from its baggie. Talk about devastation. We have scoured this living room looking for it. Of course, everyone is declaring complete innocence in the "misplacement" of that poor tooth. I sent Caden around with the Swivel Sweeper hoping that he would "catch" it. He was pretty stoked about that.....but once it proved fruitless, we were back to the drama.

Crazy thing. I feel sorry for the little man. I guess it is all a good lesson on taking care of your prized possessions. My kids seem to think that holding their treasures in their hands is the way to keep them safe. Inevitably, though, they put those treasures down....and POOF....they're gone.

Oh well. Maybe there will be a miracle in the next few days and that tooth will surprise us. Doubt it. But maybe.
