This morning I found this while browsing for a humidifier. Jon and I keep waking up at odd hours lately unable to breathe and swallow due to the excessive dryness that's set in all over our house. Not entirely sure why it's happening, but this little guy should help.
She's got what dentists call "shark teeth" meaning that her permanent teeth are growing in behind her baby teeth. I was concerned for some time about when the little guys were gonna finally fall out.
Since Dev was so sick on Saturday, and Jon was out of town (boo) we decided to postpone having the tooth fairy visit until Sunday night. At the last minute Sunday night, I got the idea to sew her a little tooth pillow that she could stick her teeth in, and put on her night stand (for easy money/tooth exchanging) So we turned on episode 3 of Tin Man and I got to work sewing the little tooth pillow:
I'd planned on embroidering a little face on the pillow but I actually like it better just the way it is. Unfortunately it's made of acrylic felt which makes me want to barf when I touch it. I only had cream colored wool felt and I thought that would make for a pretty gross looking tooth.
I think the tooth turned out so cute that I want to make more little felt things (but out of wool, not acrylic, gag!) We'll see if I can set aside some time for sewing. haha
