T'Mahk Too - Comments on Toothless Tobi-Wan http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000892.html Tobi-Wan lost his very first tooth yesterday. It wasn't shoved out earlier because the big tooth chose to come in behind it instead of under it. If we did the 'tooth fairy thing' he might have to save his quarters... en-gb Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:32:22 -0500 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:18:44 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=4.2-en kim@andfam.net 180 By Barbie Yes, he is! I saw that you all were rained out yesterday. I felt so sorry for everyone that had to run to their cars in the lightning and rain! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000892.html#c316208 316208:892@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Yes, he is!

At four kids, we couldn't afford $1 a tooth! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000892.html#c316209 316209:892@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ The tooth fairy is pretty poor at our house. one dime for each tooth.

]]> Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:06:19 -0500 By Peggy At our house, it's 50 cents a tooth for "normal" teeth. If they have to have it pulled (for orthodontia, NOT for lack of taking care of them) or if it gets knocked out, it's $1. Their first tooth is $1, their last is $10 (rite of passage and all). We just had a child lose three teeth in one day. I gave her $2 just for the cool novelty of it. Congrats Toby Wan, you've just taken your first step into a more toothless universe! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000892.html#c316212 316212:892@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ At our house, it's 50 cents a tooth for "normal" teeth.

I do have pics of him dressed up as the tooth fairy for Cheez' entertainment when she was about 4-- he had a little pink & blue umbrella and a fuzzy pink scarf. It was all a little scary if you ask me. Yes, we have a HomeSchool Bookstore. It's at the HomeSchool Building. Now aren't you even more jealous? It's in Wyoming, directly SW of Grand Rapids. A 12-minute drive for me and maybe a 2-hour drive for you? (I'm not sure where in "central MI" you live.) I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for you to ditch 6 kids for a day and drive over to do some browsing. :-) Let me know if you do. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000892.html#c316214 316214:892@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Yes, he is adorable.

We did silver dollars here, but they did start to get scarce. We'll do it with Sam and Ben when it comes time, but I think we'll stick with quarters. Or those new gold dollars. hmmmm. http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000892.html#c316218 316218:892@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ He's a cutie!
