Yesterday was a big day for Miss K. First of all, I highlighted her hair, which she's been begging me to do FOREVER. The last time I did it, the blonde didn't really "take" and you had to look REEEEALLY hard to see her "highlights." This time, however, I left the dye on longer and you can TOTALLY see her blonde-ness. (I first typed blonde-MESS, which is actually a pretty accurate description!!) Her streaks only go about halfway down her head before they peter out, though, so it almost looks like she has blonde roots growing in. Ha! She's digging it, though, so all is well. Maybe I can buy another highlight kit this week and try to fix it a little.

So, while she was sitting in the kitchen chair, stinking up the place with her hair dye, she informed me that she had a wiggly loose tooth. Another one of her molars, with a filling in it! She lost another filling-tooth (she had two) about two months ago. This one took no time at all getting out of her mouth. After I rinsed her hair, she pulled the tooth out of her jaw and handed it to me. Heeb!! Then, as I was trimming her bangs, she got sick to her stomach from all the blood in her mouth and puked in my bathroom. Whee!

You know, she went about 2 1/2 years without losing any teeth, and then she lost that other filling-tooth at her dad's house. The tooth fairy brought her TWENTY DOLLARS for that tooth. Twenty bucks!! I told her the tooth fairy was on crack that day, and probably MEANT to give her TWO dollars. So, she put her tooth in her little trinket box last night and the tooth fairy took it and left her five gold dollar coins. I thought that sounded way more appropriate!

She was giddy this morning as I was putting little clippies in her hair ("like on Lizzie McGuire, Mom!") about going to school today and showing off her highlights and her gaping hole. It's fun to be nine, sometimes!
