Yep.........we decided to play the whole "tooth fairy" game with the girls. Now, if you really know me, you know that we do NOT do Santa- the fat man in a red suit who steals credit from Jesus; and we do not do the Easter Bunny ( a talking bunny who eats chocolate and steals the spotlight of the Cross). However, I decided to do the tooth fairy, which is so crazy! But........seeing the excitement on Kennedy's face when I told her that a fairy would take her tooth and bring her money was priceless. She laid down immediately and said "I have to go to sleep mom; I want the tooth fairy to come!". Sure enough, she was asleep in minutes. I just reached in and grabbed the cute little jewelery box and removed the tooth. I then placed about 4 quarters (enough for a toy at the Dollar Store) and wrapped a pink ribbon on the box. She was awake by 6:30 to scout out her money. She was in her room counting it. Okay, I hate to admit it but I actually left about 11 coins in the box, some quarters and some dimes/nickles. I didn't know she was gonna lose another tooth the next day. Sure enough I had a reputation to live up to. But since we are broke, all I could scavenge up was about 4 quarters. So this time she counted them and was quite disappointed. She said.."aww.......last time I got 11 and now I only get 4?". I said, "yep! you win some and you lose some. How about we head to the Dollar Store?" Aversion works wonders!
