noah had an injury a few months ago that involved a shovel and his finger. it was a bit gruesome and i was undecided if the nail would actually fall off or not. well...it did.
a friend of mine, heather, at the time of injury, told noah about the nail fairy who would make a visit if, indeed, the fingernail fell off. i thought he would have forgotten about that, but i should have known better.
while we were at the chiropractor's office this morning, it finally came off. it was hanging by just a small piece of skin, so noah yanked it off and was showing everyone! in his excitement, he failed to follow mommy's wise advice to put it in his pocket or let mommy hold it and, well...
he (gulp) lost it.
do you know noah?
do you know how devastated this little boy is that his fingernail is now GONE and he cannot show it to anyone else?
do you know how long we spent at the chiropractor's office on our hands and knees looking for the fingernail?
do you know that a 6 year old boy can cry non-stop for the entire ride home over the thought that his fingernail is now destined to be eaten by the vacuum and that the fingernail fairy couldn't possibly come to our house now?
do you know that the fingernail fairy will indeed make a visit, even sans fingernail, because she is very, very smart, and knows exactly when each fingernail falls off??
what the heck is a fingernail going for these days?
anyone?
