Samuel's Winning Smile

When I posted about Samuel's first lost tooth, I was contacted by Ms. Sheri Ann Bell-Rehwoldt who was running a photo contest for children. It was called the Toothy Kid Photo Contest. She allowed me the opportunity to enter Samuel's handsome photo in the contest. And, she informed me yesterday that Samuel was one of the four finalists in the contest! He will be receiving his prize in the mail soon.

I didn't tell him he was one of the winners... I just told him about the contest & started showing him the pictures of the winners on the website. I scrolled down until he finally saw his own photo. The excited expression on his face was priceless!

Ms. Bell-Rehwoldt also included a sweet letter for Samuel:

"CONGRATS, SAMUEL!!!

Tooth Fairy Extraordinaire Here!

Congrats on being chosen as one of the four toothless kiddos in my Toothy Contest! Your photo was so darn cute … so go hug your mom for taking the time to enter the contest, because you’re getting this personal letter and a prize. HA!

I wish I could personally deliver your congratulations, but I’m dead tired. I was up ALL night collecting teeth. It’s a tough job, but I love it. And if I might say so, I’m really good at it! My mom had the job before me, and her mom before her. Someday, when I have a little girl, I will hand the job over to her. But she’ll have to be a very special gal (like me!), because this job takes skill! And daring! And lots of courage and smarts!

Congrats, again, Samuel! Keep those teeth coming! Remember to always BRUSH and FLOSS! Right after breakfast, and right before bed. Otherwise you might get cavities. BLEEEEEECH! I hate collecting teeth with cavities!

Your BFF (best friend forever!),

Tooth Fairy
