Tales from the Tooth Fairy

*Another find from Drafts.  This was written in March 2017*

After having a tooth loose for well over a month, Big D finally lost his first tooth. The neighboring tooth is also loose, but I have finally learned my lesson and am firmly in the mindset of acknowledging I am a terrible judge of when teeth will be lost. No more guesses, or soons from this lady.

In the Big D's case his replacement tooth grew in and was pushing the baby tooth out. He doesn't play and wiggle them as much as his big brother does. Which of course is vital to decreasing the time spent in the wait it out method. Our household doesn't indulge in pulling teeth.

Bear has been begging for me to pull out one of her teeth, she is feeling left out.  Soon enough little girl, soon enough.

Our ToothFairy leaves fifty cent pieces and a note. Usually the impression of how well the TF thinks the tooth has been cared for, and the obligatory reminder to brush teeth. We are debating having a special tooth bag or pillow. Always trying to help the TF out and make the exchange as smooth as possible. A solid working relationship is key.

We have used an envelope on the kitchen table and a fabric pouch. Though the kids feel that under the pillow is the proper place for the exchange. They also are curious as to what happens if both of them lose teeth on the same day. How will she know who's is who's?

Bear has decided she is going to be a toothfairy when she grows up.  She would really like to stay up late and meet and talk with the Tooth Fairy. Tips of the Trade, insdier info, all that. One cannot be too careful in career choices.
