The tooth fairy debacle............

So... last week Lindsey lost another tooth while she was at lunch, tooth #5 for her. She came home showed it to me and said nothing else about it. I guess she felt the whole process this time would be bettween her and the tooth fairy. Fast forward to the next morning (its sunday Alan has already left) 6:30am I hear hysterically crying. Lindsey eventually enters my room, tear streaked and crying, the tooth fairy forgot her! Oh my, I am SO mad at that tooth fairy. So ... I am forced to go to investigate. She shows me where she left the tooth. She left it in bettween two pillows so it was not under actual pillow, she concludes that is why it was forgotten. Of course that is why right, I mean how is the tooth fairy suppossed to know where to look if you have two pillows. Anyway, fast forward another night. She spends the day composing a note and tapes it to her door. The babies are sick, Jacob broke his foot that day, and I am tired. So... I go into her room to check the tooth (wink wink) and "checked" just fine or so I thought. As I was walking out she sat up and inquired about what I was doing. I told her I was checking her tooth, and went back in showed her the tooth and replaced it to its spot for the tooth fairy. She then goes back to sleep. Who knows if she bought all this. ADVICE for all parents. Find somewhere to put teeth other than under the pillow, its tough to not wake the sleeping child. When I was kid we had a cute pillow with a fairy girl she had a pocket for the tooth, I better ask my mom where that is. Second advice... don't forget to do it. LOL
