As her tooth was getting loose, John suggested we watch some "funny" videos on Youtube to prepare Ellie for the event. That is where the idea was born...
The plan was to tie a string to Ellie's loose tooth, tie the other end of the string to the foam Nerf gun bullet and I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
We attempted it a few times last week, but the tooth just wasn't ready. Then with the anticipation of Nana and Pop coming for a visit, the plan was to attempt it again with a full audience.
Ellie is definitely brave. She didn't seem scared at all. We tied the string and she prepared to shoot. It worked! I had little faith that it would actually work. I was completely surprised. The only issue is, for those that might attempt this with their own children, it took us a while to find the tooth! That bullet flew and hit the door and so did the tooth, but then it ricocheted off the door and after several minutes of folks picking through the carpet we spotted the lonely tooth on a cushion of the couch all of the way across the room.
Well, the Tooth Fairy was notified and she performed her "magic" and turned the tooth into a dollar.
