You guys… guess what we’ll be doing tonight?? We’re participating in the “NATIONAL HOAX“
 It finally happened. |
The tooth popped out early this morning and so the Tooth Fairy has been the topic of the day. The running commentary and theories have been entertaining.
“How does she know to come? Is there some sort of alert system??”
“How small is she, really? Does she fit through a key hole? If not, how does she get in? Can she just appear?”
“Maybe she has a tiny little key?”
“So, do you think she takes the teeth for a collection? Or do you think she’s doing something with them? Or maybe she changes the tooth into the money. Has anyone thought of that theory before? I kind of like that one.”
“I sort of want to keep my tooth. Like a new collection.”
“Don’t you think that the Tooth Fairy is doing a better job than Santa, in a way? I mean, no one knows why she’s collecting all these teeth and no one has even seen her. You don’t see pictures of her around like you do with Santa. It’s weird. Someone needs to get her picture.”
And then, just now…
“I bet if you got her picture, you’d be really famous.”
Do you know what this made me think of? My dear friend’s husband tried to capture the Tooth Fairy when he was a little kid. And do you know what happened? He did catch the Tooth Fairy: he knocked his father out- unconscious!
I just can see the wheels turning in Leo’s little noggin. And, let me tell you, the Tooth Fairy isn’t going in that room tonight. We made a Tooth Fairy pouch that can hang on his doorknob, on the outside of his door. He liked this idea because “the thought of a fairy flying around my room in the dark totally freaks me out!”

Better a tooth out than always aching!

So, how did it turn out?
Okay so this rascal stayed up until almost one in the morning in attempt to capture her on film. The Tooth Fairy was draaaaagging the next morning
To think, we have a whole mouth of teeth to go 
(and, thankfully, the Tooth Fairy actually had a moms’ night out that night, otherwise he would have been out of luck!)
