Twinkle the Tooth Fairy

When Alora was 16 months old, she slipped on a friend's hardwood floors and cracked her front tooth. For almost three years, she has had a black cracked tooth. At her last dental appointment her dentist told us it would have to pulled or it would compromise the adult tooth beneath.


She was so brave at the dentist. Elijah and I had to leave the room and she simply smiled and waved. There was no tears at all when she received the local anesthetic; the dentist even commented on how tough she was.

Her new toothless smile.

One of her favorite books her grandmother got her is a book called "Twinkle the Toothfairy." It is about a fairy who collects teeth in a little pouch so she doesn't loose them. I made Alora her own pouch and she has been so excited to put three baby teeth in it and place it under her bed. Her daddy always writes her a letter and puts a gold coin and some sugar free gum under her pillow for her. It is so sweet to see the effort her dad puts into making magic for her!


The holes in her mouth are just another reminder of how fast she is growing up!!
