The Big Lost Tooth

I lost a big one!!!

While we were in Indy this past weekend, William lost his front tooth.  He actually LOST it... as in a swimming pool!

William and Claudia were swimming with their cousins and William's face made contact with Matthew's foot.  The tooth came out and settled somewhere on the bottom of the pool.  I entered the pool area right after the tooth came out to find William crying hysterically and holding a towel full of blood.  I thought he had jumped in the pool backwards again (after telling him not to a million times) and smashed his face on the side of the pool.  He was actually crying because he couldn't find the tooth in the pool and no tooth meant no Tooth Fairy (according to William).

Claudia, with a teeny bit of help from Sydney, started a search and rescue mission.  She continued to dive and scan the bottom of the pool for William's tooth. 

And... guess what?  SHE FOUND IT!!!!

William was so happy to have his tooth back and Claudia was so happy to have found it for her favorite brother.

The Tooth Fairy came to the hotel and left William a special gift.  Not money, but a StarWars movie- A New Hope.  William couldn't believe his luck. 

We had an eventful weekend with cousins and Grandma :)
