stretching the tooth

after hanging on for dear life for far too long, liam's second loose tooth is now history. as we were getting it ready to leave for the tooth fairy on sunday night, he said, "i sure hope she leaves me $199.  that way i could buy a wii."

we braced ourselves for the inevitable disappointment the next morning, but liam managed to look on the bright side of things. "she left me a two dollar bill!" he exclaimed, running into our bedroom. "only 197 more dollars to go!" he immediately walked over to the mirror and opened his mouth wide.

"hmm," he said, after assessing the contents and turning back towards us. "i think i need a lot more teeth."
