Lil Shauna was excited about the visit of the Tooth Fairy. I needed the kids to sleep and instead of telling them to wait to peep at the Tooth Fairy, I told them that she would only come when they are asleep. I am so creative. Haha. I gave Lil Shauna a little container for her little tooth.
Her little tooth looks so tiny even in her small palm.
And she gamely posed for a toothless grin.
Actually, she isn’t really toothless. The adult tooth has somehow started growing without waiting for its predecessor to leave. It is much bigger than the rest and not growing straight due to the lack of space. Hmph.. Fortunately and unfortunately, that should be fixed when she has to wear braces and that face guard thing when she is about 8 years old to guide her upper jaw to grow faster, which will resolve her bite issue. I am already hearing the dentist’s cashier go ka-ching!
So, she happily placed the container with that tooth under a pillow and slept on that pillow that night. She isn’t a pillow person and sacrificed doing so for her precious tooth. The Tooth Fairy did come, wrote her a note, thank her for the tooth and gave her $10 in exchange.
The next morning, Lil Shauna woke up really early, while I was getting ready for work, with the container in her hand.
LS: Pappy, where is my tooth?
DL: The Tooth Fairy took it. Hey, she left a note too! It says, “Dear Shauna, thank you for the tooth. I love it very much.”
LS: But where is the money?
DL: Here. Wow! The Tooth Fairy left you $10!
LS: (Peeping into the container) Oh, I thought the Tooth Fairy would leave a coin. Hehe.
Oops, I must have been too generous. Maybe she would be happier to receive a dollar in exchange of her tooth. Lol. When I went home that night, Lil Shauna was asking why didn't see the Tooth Fairy. Lil Isaac was more imaginative. He said that he didn't see the Tooth Fairy too, but there was something shiny… Haha. Too cute!
Did you see the Tooth Fairy? She is really pretty. Hehe.
