Sometimes I feel like the blog is a good place to brag, or to paint a perfect little picture of our lives. Well there is no bragging and no perfect pictures, not today. I screwed up and I feel HORRIBLE! Braiden went to the dentist yesterday and got 2 teeth pulled (I'll talk about that a little bit later) So if you are a kid and you have to go through that what is the one thing that you would look forward to about loosing teeth? Yes, it's a visit from the tooth fairy. I bet you can see where this is going, yes the tooth fairy FORGOT to come!!! He put his teeth in the little box and carefully placed them on his bed post, morning came and he sat right up in bed and looked on the bed post to find, nothing... he said, "Maybe she couldn't get the lid open" ahhhh {{tear, tear}} I've never actually cried while writing a post before. I am a horrible mother. I guess the tooth fairy will dish out double tonight. He is such a sweet boy, so innocent, I hate to see him growing up.
Now that you know how imperfect I am and that I screw up (on a daily basis) I want to tell you about the teeth pulling. I want you all to know that we aren't teeth pulling happy and that we don't do this for fun. We actually got a consult from the orthodontist who told us to get those teeth out of there, so his permanent teeth will come in more straight and there will be less ortho work to do later on. He was very brave and tough through the whole thing, I was proud of him. I will have to take a picture of his toothlessness and post later.
We have family pictures later on tonight, wish us luck!!
On another note, my friend Niki is doing this on her blog and I thought it was a great idea. List 3 things everyday that you are thankful for until Thanksgiving. So here it goes.
1. Lidocaine, so Braiden didn't have to feel his teeth coming out.
2. Lessons learned, I will never forget to be the tooth fairy AGAIN. (I hope)
3. A sweet, innocent, forgiving child.

I cannot believe you being a bad mother at all. You are much like one of the best mothers out there, Mom. :-) That is kind funny to look back on though.
Elise you are super cute! I would like to be Braiden tonight! You will have to let us know how he reacts to round 2 of the tooth fairy :). By the way we all know you are an awesome mom.
Casey seems to always beat me to your posts! You make me feel good knowing that you mess up once in a while, cause I do ALL the time! you are a great mom!
Well I guess you changed your Omaha phone number, because I just called and got a message that was not you! You are such a sweet mommy-not to mention a perfect wife too! Call me sometime!
I pulled the tooth fairy no-show not too long ago too! I told Madelyn that sometimes there are so many kids that lose their teeth in one day that it takes the tooth fairy two nights to get all the surprises delivered. She went for it! Congrats to Braiden on being so brave!
about the quiz...
Elizabeth Bennet is spunky =) and cute, matture, compassionate, respectful to elders, but also doesn't hold back her feelings if someone else is wrong and she should stick up for beliefs better than theirs. If that helps. You should read the book, it is one of my favorites.
You and I are a lot alike I think =), so I would say it fits. At least I feel like I could understand her character's opinions and behavior patterns more than any of Jane Austen's other characters.
You are sooooo far from be being a bad mother. You are the sweetest thing ever. WE all make mistakes and so good that we can learn from them!! Miss you!
oh my, poor little guy. hopefully he wont be too worried next time he looses a tooth! that or he might be surprised by the amount next time might be a little less! cute idea to have gratitude posts.
Oh My Gosh Elise!
Every mom has forgotten the tooth fairy... Don't beat yourself up! It's kinda cool because he'll probally get double!
Love You! Auntie Karla
