Octavia loses her first tooth.

Once upon a time there was a princess named Octavia who lived in a magical kingdom far far away from Grandmas and Grandpas. She made a wish that she could move closer to the ones she loved. All the fairies in the land gathered together and counseled. One fairy said she would use her powers to move Octavia's kingdom closer to the ones she loved, but it would require a sacrifice of the princess. She would require one of the princesses magical teeth, that way she could give a little part of herself to the land and the people she had to leave behind. And it would always be a part of who she became, and the land would grow more beautiful than ever because it had a been touched by her. So the day came that the little princess had to leave her tooth behind. The little Princess was frightened of the pain that would be involved in loosing her tooth. In the end she was brave and gave her little tooth. She tried out replacement teeth, but nothing seemed to fill the little hole in her mouth. Her mommy assured her that a new tooth would grow in the little lost tooth's place. The little princess asked how her mommy could know this. Her mommy told her because sometimes we have hard things happen to us, and sometimes it takes a little piece of us, but in the end it is all a part of growing up. And after a while where the little tooth once was a stronger tooth grows. And so the princess finished crying--then she dried her tears and put the tooth under her pillow for the beautiful fairy to come and retrieve. Thankful for all that helps us grow stronger. (Just one more for Julie, hope you have a blast at girls camp!!! I wish I could go.)
