Tooth Fairy Visits

Andrew ventured into new territory for our family when he got his first loose tooth.  About an hour after discovering his bottom tooth was loose, he informed James "not to worry that he'd eventually get a loose tooth too."  Ha!  I love it.   He came running to the car after school in March saying that he finally lost his tooth during reccess.  I was so glad that it fell out as it had been 'hanging by a thread' for almost a week. 

The tooth fairy thought about leaving a cute note on special stationary with glitter and a special combination of money as compensation for the tooth.  But then her assistant reminded her that she has four children in this house and to "keep it simple, please, for the love" since there will be tons of tooth fairy visits in the coming years.  So she slid a dollar under his pillow, remembered to take the tooth and hide it in her room and went back to watching TV with her assistant.

About a month later, James lost his first tooth.  

He lost his in the middle of the night and came into our room around 3 am to tell us that it fell out.  We said to put it on his dresser and that he could leave it for the tooth fairy the next night (because the tooth fairy doesn't get up in the middle of the night unless its the baby or a bloody injury requiring an ER visit come after midnight at our house).  James was in the middle of recovering from a wicked case of strep so the tooth fairy visit and $1 helped to cheer him up.
