The tooth business

Gage lost some bottom teeth last year, but hasn't lost any of the upper teeth yet. They're loose and he really wants to get them out so he wiggles them around. Wendy reports that at times one tooth is parallel to the floor. Eeuw!

He was working on the loose tooth a couple of nights ago and was quite upset because it wasn't coming out. His motivation is the $3 per tooth that his magnanimous tooth fairy leaves. He's a lucky boy to have such a generous tooth fairy...his mom's tooth fairy never left more than 25 cents!

Wendy really didn't want him to keep working on it at bedtime, but he said he wanted the money for it. So she offered him 50 cents if he would leave it alone. He said, "Can I have it now?"

Clever little guy...he sounds like quite a canny businessman!
