Charly lost a tooth! Part "too"th

So, since Charly has been on summer vacation, I swear that child has not gotten up before 9am, unless it was absolutely necessary; and by necessary, I mean me shaking her awake because we had somewhere to be early. Anyhow, the morning after she plucked that beautiful tooth from her now gap filled smile, she was up at 815.  She came running to my room, flung open the door, and exclaimed "Mom!!! The tooth fairy brought me MONEY!!", ending with a squeal. The reason for Charly's extreme excitement is that the last 2 times the tooth fairy has shown up to collect the teeth, she's left Charly 8 quarters. Now, Charly is finished with Kindergarten, and she knows that 8 quarters = $2.00, but in her head, dollar bills are way more AWESOME!
Charly has a second wiggly tooth, the exact same tooth on the opposite side. And, since getting her $2 from the tooth fairy, she has decided to try to expedite the process of losing this tooth. She's wiggling that thing front and back, and now side to side...I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out tonight. Also, much to her enjoyment, she has discovered the adult tooth is coming through the gap in her teeth, from the current missing tooth, but it's also under the one beside it, so now, she's working on that tooth too! This child loves her money. I'm definitely expecting a visit from the tooth fairy in the next week.
When people say, money motivates, they aren't kidding.
