We had a visit last night from the tooth fairy. I was of two minds about whether to invite her to our home or not. I don't mind having my children believe in Santa Clause, but I'm becoming more uncomfortable about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy and others. However, we decided to give it a go.
Sam walked into our room this morning very sad and whiney and pathetic. "Dad, the tooth fairy stole my tooth last night!"
"Well, didn't she leave you some money?"
"But I wanted to keep my tooth for 9 days."(still whiney)
I explained to him that when he puts his tooth under his pillow that tells the tooth fairy that he's ready to give it to her. He wandered disconsolately out.
A few minutes later he came back in...still sad
"Dad, I wanted the tooth fairy to give me dollars, not coins!"
So we're off to a rough start with the tooth fairy. Maybe it's a sign that we don't even need to have her here. Or maybe we just have an inexperienced fairy who doesn't quite know what she is doing yet!

maybe you should have had a tooth fairy prep class for Sam - we don't do the Easter bunny but all other fairy and magical beings aloud in our house.
Looking at all of your pictures I can't believe how much your kids look like you. Sam reminds me so much of Spencer at that age.
My friend does the tooth fairy but she brings a book instead of some money. Definately more expensive than the change laying around the house... but I love the concept. It's great to have an occations to buy kids books! We'll see what we do when Bry's a bit older. I heard on the radio just the other week that the average amount for a tooth is like $5!! Insane!!
ha! loved this post..... don't you just love being a parent?? at least he's not blaming you! maybe you could start blaming everything on the toothfairy. :)
My sisters get so into the toothfairy and leave sprinkles everywhere. What a stupid idea cause I know it's not the kids picking up that "fairy dust" I like the idea of leaving a book. That's cute.
We love the tooth fairy. My mom would always leave sparkles and notes..so fun. I think Delaney still believes in the tooth fairy!! She is going to be 12 but hey!!
