I hate the Tooth Fairy

No I don't really hate her..she just fell asleep last night and almost had a mishap... By the way, do all 1st Graders lose this many teeth in 1 year? This is like our 4th or 5th and Brooke is starting to look like a Jack-O-Lantern? I'll add her picture later....my little toothless wonder....

I went in this morning with the GREAT IDEA to have Brooke jump out of bed and let the new puppy out (so the cleaver tooth fairy could put money under her pillow and snatch the tooth). Only 1 problem, I couldn't find the tooth? School has this great "plastic treasure box" they hand out to the kids when they lose a tooth...the bright yellow treasure box was no where to be found. It was there when I put her to bed....I was frantic; stripping down the bed, looking inside the pillowcase, on the floor, under the bed...trying to do this before Brooke came back for her "tooth fairy" surprise...disaster is all I could imagine at the time.....


Well, It was STUCK and good thing it was YELLOW - I had to move the bed because it was stuck between the bed and the wood blinds in her window....

I'd love to see blogs on your next tooth fairy moment....I'll have to get an espresso for the next tooth fairy moment so :"she" doesn't fall asleep before SHOW TIME!

forgotten many times...you just hide it in the palm of your hand and while you help them look for it..you drop it down between the bed and the wall. Ü

What a hysterical tooth fairy story! Glad it turned out ok! I can't wait to see a picture...good grief, I hope she has a few left to eat with! Ha ha!

Well I can't remember which child it was for sure, but the tooth fairy was very generous one early morning at our house. She put the usual (one dollar) under the pillow and off she went. Only to be awaken early by an excited whoop and holler that the tooth fairy had left a 5.00 bill. I think it was Jeremy and he was looking for some string to pull another tooth!!!
