Tooth Fairy

We were watching the Meerkat Manor documentary and Elliot screamed, "It's out! It's out! It came out!" We had no idea what he was talking about. We thought he was reacting to one of the meerkats who had just crawled out of the burrow, but then we saw him holding his bloody little tooth. Finally it came out. After 3 months of wiggling this loose tooth, during which time a completely grown tooth grew in behind it months ago, Elliot has lost his first tooth.

Interview with Elliot:
Do you believe in the tooth fairy?
Yes. She goes to people who lose their teeth. I'm kind of sad that I lost it, I'm going to miss wiggling it.

Description of the Tooth Fairy:
  • Blond hair
  • White skin
  • Pearl necklace
  • Silver dress
  • Reading glasses
  • Silver tiara
  • Red shoes
  • Size of a potato

Leonard and Lucille

My grandparents with their neighbors circa 1947. I love the feeling of community, the focus on family. Goofy kids. Tired parents. Classic Americana.
