tooth fairy

The boys were sitting around the counter doing a puzzle and Levi was telling his brothers all about his super loose tooth. I can't remember the conversation they were having, but it made me laugh and I had to capture the moment. Taylor was telling him something about how he shouldn't just pull his tooth out cause it will hurt.

The next day we were sitting in church and for the first time in forever (your're welcome for getting that song stuck in your head) the boys had a little bag of cereal to eat after the sacrament. Again, we rarely take food, not even for Rudger, because we think they can sit through three hours of meetings without having to eat something. Anyway, Levi turned to me and pulled out his tooth. He told me he was eating away when all of a sudden he bit on something hard, he thought it was super hard cereal. But he figured that couldn't be it and pulled out his tooth.

Later at home the boys were having some really deep discussions in their bedroom. Levi came tromping out and very matter of factually said to me:

"Mom, tell me the truth. I know that the tooth fairy is a girl. So, is the tooth fairy you?" 

I started laughing hysterically inside. Then I smiled and told him the truth. Because, after all that is what he asked of me.

(Seriously, if you know Levi...this stuff is so like him and keeps our family very much not boring. We die at how this kid rolls.)
