Emma lost her first tooth after weeks of showing us how much she could wiggle it. She was so excited to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy. Thankfully, she didn't remember the last time the tooth fairy visited our house. You see, the tooth fairy has been to our house before.Someone--I won't mention my name--was fed up with cavities and candy a couple years back. Emma had gone to a birthday party and come home loaded with junk in her goody bag. This came right on the heels of an expensive dental visit. So after finding Emma sneaking candy between meals, this person came upon the bright idea of having the tooth fairy come and exchange the candy for a crisp dollar bill. After all, Emma loves money just as much as candy. Right?
Wrong. Emma does not love money just as much as candy. She loves candy more. The results were catastrophic. Emma was enraged. There were tears and screaming and death threats against the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy was enemy number one at our house.
But fortunately, time has erased this particular memory. Welcome back Tooth Fairy.

even though tooth fairy visit didn't go over so hot with Emma, I might have to try that tactic here...I despise the bag fulls of candy--especially the chewey, make your teeth rot kind! You are probably a good tooth fairy (you probably REMEMBER to put money under their pillow!) our's is somewhat forgetful!
Hey Kasey! Can't believe I beat you to that one - the tooth fairy visited us last fall - even though Enoch is only 4! Enjoy that grin - Enoch's grown up teeth have already filled the gap!
