Camie was so excited to come home from school and show me she had lost a tooth, thus making both top front teeth missing. It was close in being a "snaggle tooth" because the first tooth was starting to peek through. I think she helped the second tooth along quite a bit.
So, the tooth fairy forgot to come. how does that happen? Camie was so upset the next morning. I tried to give excuses for the tooth fairy like "maybe you went to sleep too late and when the tooth fairy came you were still awake so she had to leave" or "maybe it was too cold outside and she thought she would wait for a warmer night". Well, that one backfired on me. She insisted we make the tooth fairy a little sweater with a note. What size sweater do you make for the tooth fairy? So, the next night the tooth fairy forgot again. How that one happened is beyond me. So, Camie was in tears and I was feeling really bad for her. I swiped my hand under her pillow and asked her to check again to make sure she hadn't just "missed" where maybe the tooth fairy had put the money. Sure enough she check again and the money was there. Whew! That was close! Can you imagine the tooth fairy missing two nights in a row? If she's not careful, she'll be in the unemployment line!

My kids haven't lost any teeth at school, but they want to. Apparently there is talk of a little tooth box from the school nurse.
Aubrey has told me she wants to lose a tooth at school... but she hasn't lost any teeth at all yet!
Don't feel bad. My children have missed the tooth fairy many times. I finally gave up on the older three and started telling them to go get quarters from the change jar. I never missed a beat with the first two. The last two however, I've been a complete mental case. Just as long as Santa doesn't forget to fill the stockings, right? :)
Whew! Quick thinking Mom!
