She lost her first...
TOOTH! :D :D
and she is so incredibly proud of herself!
She was actually at a sleepover at friends when Lisa rang me to say that she had lost it! *argh* typical! First tooth & I have been waiting & waiting (don't forget it IS all about me ;oP)!! So I asked Lisa to write her a note explaining that the Tooth Fairy only visits when you're sleeping in your own bed! The next evening, I typed out another note explaining why she couldn't come the night before, but congratulations & "you're such a big girl now" etc. I was exhausted so left it on the kitchen table for PAPA Tooth Fairy (aka Ren!) to attend to & headed off to bed.
Morning comes.
We are both asleep. Then Fynn is in our bed. Then we hear Zali pattering down the hallway & Ren's eyes just POP ")&#()*&"! I'm like "what?" R: "I forgot to do the tooth" C: "Well you better get out to the kitchen table because it's all sitting there still"! Ren flies out of bed as Zali comes in thru the door devastated that the Tooth Fairy didn't visit :o( !! Obviously she was WAY too busy, too many teeth to attend to & maybe she might come tomorrow night? Yes that was fine *phew*!
So she did eventually come. We can't believe we failed the tooth fairy on our very FIRST go!!!!! What hope do we have?!!
Then this morning she found another loose tooth. So she is SO excited all over again! Can't wait to collect some more cash even after I reminded her "don't forget the Tooth Fairy said you won't get as much next time"!!!!
"Yay I lost my first tooth"!

Thank you for being so real!
The tooth fairy left sooooo many sorry notes about lateness here :o, before it became apparent that something wasn't quite right :)
Now we can all laugh about it, these are the moments you will all remember fondly.

OMG I can so relate to the tooth fairy not coming, Blake woke up to say tooth fairy had not come I mumbled something are you sure when he was in the toilet I promptly put $2 under the glass. My theory to tell him was he was half asleep and maybe looking in the wrong place. When he went to make his bed he came back in to say " mum the tooth fairy came and left $2 under the glass and forgot to take the tooth." He was most distressed so said we could try the next night. Ooops I still laugh and that was last month.

Oh so cute!! Seriously though, from experience, don't get into too much tooth fairy banter, man we had it going on for weeks with my dd sending each other little notes. Hence dragging out the whole sneaking into their room in the wee hours process, its utterly exhausting. Once they start loosing them, they just keep going for about a year!! LOL

That cracks me up!! My nearly six year old has been wiggling her teeth for months now in the hope that sooner or later one will finally pop out [because many of her older friends have already lost some and she's feeling left out!]
All good things come to those who wait???
Love the blog.

My dd just lost her first tooth in the same spot last week! And I nearly forgot to put the money under her pillow. I remembered at the last minute and spared myself a heap of drama. lol
