On Sunday Mya came and asked me what was wrong with her tooth. Upon examination I told her that it was going to fall out to make room for her big girl teeth. She has been patiently waiting and wiggling it in hopes that it would fall out. Today Keegan and I met Mya for lunch and took her some McDonalds. While we were eating she pulled something out of her mouth and asked what it was. I told her that it was the tooth that she had been waiting for. She had to tell all her friends that were sitting around us and then she got to put her name on the tooth chart in the classroom. She was asking at 5:00 if we could have dinner so that she could go to bed early because the toothfairy doesn't come until you are asleep. I don't think that quarters will cut it like they did when I was five. I was talking to some of the kids in Mya's class that had already lost teeth and couldn't believe that amount of money that they got. There are a lot of expectations of the easter bunny, the toothfairy, and santa clause. I have a deeper appreciation for all that my parents did for me to make all those times special.

It's funny to watch all the friends who have kids the same age reach all the milestones around the same time. I can remember Mya teetering around West Tisbury...
That's cool that you can meet Mya for lunch. I should see if they will let me do that.
Wow! What a big girl. I know what you mean...quarters don't really cut in anymore. My nephew lost a tooth a few months ago and my SIL went to leave money for him and thought she put two ones under his pillow. When he woke up he came running out and said, "Wow, I got $15!" Turns out she accidently put a 5 and a 10 out!
Okay the toothfairy sometimes forgets to come in the middle of the night!! So we have to make up for it with a little extra $$>!
Wowzee. First tooth! That's a big deal. You tell Mya to stop growing up!
I have tried to tell her to stop growing up.... but it just isn't working.
Congratulations Mya! Evalyn is still waiting!
