Kate lost her first tooth yesterday. We tried 4 times to get it out. The first two times we tied thread around her tooth and slammed the door. That didn't work because the thread kept breaking. So we tried yarn. Robert tied it tight around her tooth and then gave a good yank. Out it came! Kate was so brave! Of course, Robert yanked so hard that for a while we couldn't find the missing tooth. We spent at least 15 minutes on our hands and knees looking for the tooth. Finally, it was found and placed under Kate's pillow. She was thrilled that the tooth fairy found her. She received a special note from the fairy and two dollars. She is ready to buy dinner for all! She has now discovered a source of fairly easy cash and intends to keep working on her other teeth!
