"Lost" Tooth - Literally

May 26th - Today the girls (Lexy, myself, my mom and Aunt Val) and Nathan went to the water park that is in Naples. It was a really nice day. The boys had all gone fishing so we decided to go have some fun of our own. Nathan was really cold and didn't enjoy himself that much. Lexy had a blast until a little mishap. She and aunt Val had gone down the big slides a couple of times and then had decided to go down the lazy river (or crazy river as Lexy calls it). Some how at one point Lexy hit her face against the inner tube and knocked her front tooth out. When they came back over to us she was crying because her tooth was at the bottom of the "crazy" river. She was afraid that since she had really lost her tooth that the tooth fairy would not come. We assured her that the tooth fairy knows and we could even leave her a note explaining what happened. She decided that would be okay.

Later when we got home and had baths and showers I was in my bathroom drying my hair when Nathan walked in saying, "I found Lessy's (Lexy's) tooth". I thought that may he found something small and white that he had mistaken for her tooth. When he put it in my hand though, I discovered that he was telling the truth. I couldn't believe that he had the tooth that we thought was at the bottom of the lazy river. The only explanation is that it went down Lexy's bathing suit and traveled home with us. Thank goodness for little toddlers who notice everything on the floor! This will be a memorable story for a long time.
