Tooth Fairy’s in town tonight…hOpEfULLy

Yes, I make mistakes. I forget. I am not perfect and here’s proof…

B lost her tooth Monday afternoon, sweet pea puts it under her pillow last night and because we didn’t do our usual ‘prayer’ to the tooth fairy, where we give her a heads up and request she consider leaving the tooth here instead of taking it to teeth heaven, she didn’t visit – YIKES!

I only realize this when B almost climbs on top of my head as she pounces on our bed this morning before school. ‘mom, the tooth fairy DIDN’T visit. She DIDN’T come.’ B was slightly puzzled, I am barely awake, and C rolls over…’she probably didn’t come because I was up throughout the night coughing. Either I was awake or making too much noise and scared her off’ YES – C is a rock star! B was convinced, I was baffled and C was sorry and she would do her best tonight to be quiet and stay asleep.

How awesome is that ~ Mom and Dad’s oops, and big sis saves the day!!!

So tonight, crawling into bed, B does her little ‘prayer’ to the tooth fairy, we place the star tooth case in between her pillows and kiss goodnight. Both girls are dreaming all snug in their beds and the tooth fairy is sure to visit. Hopefully with her usual…a book and some cash, along with a message praising for the clean, shiny teeth, to keep up the good work, and an extra coin for the great job the sis has been doing!

So I am not perfect, but it doesn’t mean things can’t work out perfectly ~ Sweet Dreams!

OMg ~ just checked and the tooth is no where to be found, I think B is hiding it. :) LOL.

  • This happened to me once too. We fell asleep and completely forgot. We went out for a bit and before we left I managed to swap out the tooth for some coins. They were convinced that the tooth fairy came when they were gone. Disaster averted.

    The joys of being a parent :)

    • Nice – it’s all in how we perceive and think on our toes…B was stoked this morning!!!

  • You made me giggle out loud!! I love your tales as much as I love you!

    • Shucks Lisa darling – mwah!!! You support and praise is endless…much love xo

  • Found your funny post on my quest for tooth fairy ideas. My son is getting his first tooth fairy visit tomorrow… a bit premature since he’s having an injured tooth pulled. (Oh and if you ever need a good resource for caring for your kids’ teeth, I’ve recently found this Mom’s Guide to be very useful.) Loved how sis saved the day! :)
