Tooth Fairy Alert: A Special Request
Hubby and I and 3 other couples just returned from a New Year's-slash-early 40th birthday celebration in Vegas.I'd tell you what happened, but with that whole "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" pact you make when you get off the plane and all...
It's pretty much top secret.
Or completely boring.
Or completely amazing.
I'll just say no one was tattooed {I think} and there was no tigers in our room and we may or may not have seen Chumlee from Pawn Stars.
Okay. Done.
So we arrive home and drive to meet the family and out jumps my littlest K smiling with THIS FACE:
I don't know about you, but that is a massive void and the tooth fairy better be on her game because at the last dentist appointment the dentist said her adult tooth is WAY up there.
Like, she wasn't suppose to lose that tooth for another 2-3 months or so.
Like, that adult tooth won't be here for another 4-6 months.
Oh well.
Of course the excitement builds as she anticipates who will be visiting under her pillow that night.
What's the tooth fairy bring in your neck of the woods?
Mom, does the toof {and yes, now she lisps} faiwwy bring other stuff besides money?
Like what do you mean?
Like a suitcase.
Uh, what now?!
{Friend from school} got a suitcase thingy when she lost her tooth.
Like to pack clothes in for a trip?!
NO! Like the one I got with Rapunzel on it with whip gloss in it.
Ohhh! Yes, like a little tin lunch box!
Uh huh! Uh huh! {nodding crazily}
Yeah, no. I'm pretty sure she only brings money.

Oh, how I miss the toof faiwwy dayz. (Oops. Got a little carried away there.)
Today we actually have Dentists visits! How's that for timing. I'm pretty sure I won't be hearing any braces suggestions, but I'm crossing my fingers any way.

I can remember when my Son was little and he so enjoyed the thing,because we would always put a dollar under his pillow!He thought he had a million dollars!!

Cold hard cash at our house. Works pretty well. Sometimes she forgets and we all suffer, but she's typically pretty consistent. :)

How adorable! I can't say I've ever had any requests like this for 'our toothfairy,' and I do think I'd stick to cash... It's a bit difficult to sleep with a lunchbox under your pillow. ;)

The tooth fairy always brought money. There was a time or two when the tooth fairy fell asleep or couldn't find the tooth. So she had to pay twice as much. :)

awww I love this, I would make sure to provide her with enough money to buy one or buy one and give it as a tooth fairy gift. There are no rules when it comes to the tooth fairy. Is her Lisp like Cindy from the Brandy Bunch? So cute btw.

haha, that's so cute! I really screwed up a couple years ago. I had just become a step mom to an 8 year old and she lost her tooth and I totally flaked on the tooth fairy thing so we just told her the tooth fairy must be running late and made up for it the next night. It was always money when we were young(and not very much) but we were kids and a quarter was like gold to us!

It was always silver dollar coins or two dollar bills in our house.
January 16, 2013 at 2:22 PM
It has always been money in my family, but my son has not lost any teeth yet. I teach preschool and it is amazing to me how much the price has gone up. Some kids are getting $5 or more now!

That picture is priceless!!! Money is always expected though.
January 18, 2013 at 5:44 PM
when i was younger we didnt do the tooth fairy thing. we just threw our teeth away, i didnt even know it was something widely done
January 24, 2013 at 6:29 AM
My son is 5 1/2, he should be losing his teeth soon. I can hardly wait!!!
January 28, 2013 at 9:04 AM
My daughter turns 6 in 2 months, we are waiting for her to loose teeth! I don't even know what the 'going rate' is :)
January 31, 2013 at 1:08 PM
I love it! Only $ here too.
February 4, 2013 at 6:50 PM
What a cutie! Hope she enjoys her tooth fairy money :)

My son was a little weird. He hated the idea of the tooth fairy reaching under his pillow, but he didn't complain when he found his money under there!
February 6, 2013 at 6:05 AM
Only money here... my daughter was always nervous about some fairy person flying into the room when she was sleeping. I'm glad she didn't consider asking for something besides money... it may have made for a lumpy pillow if it was too big. :-) Katharina

Coins here. Maybe I will give them some dollars at some point. :)
March 15, 2013 at 2:52 PM
too cute! I've only ever givin momey, but its usually quarters. For some reason growing up my mom put our tooth in a cup of water instead of under the pillow, I know kind of weird, but I do the same with my kids
March 18, 2013 at 10:05 AM
Very cute. We leave dollar bills. When my first tooth fell out, my grandparents happen to be visiting,and I woke up to a Little People's castle at the foot of my bed. Score!
March 26, 2013 at 2:37 PM
I'm so long away from those days. We got a quarter.

That's a cute photo and story! And what a greeting for when you came home - a smile that would really surprise you! I've seen cute tooth fairy pillows, that I wanted to make one, but so far, haven't had any little ones lately losing a baby tooth!

Ha! I like her creativity wanting a suittcase especially with whip gloss in it. Kids are adorable when they lose teeth- and yep she is gonna be waiting on that one a bit!
September 15, 2015 at 9:36 AM
She is absolutely adorable! Times sure have changed from the days when I was lucky to get a dime or perhaps a quarter under my pillow. I do remember that for my first tooth I got a half dollar. I thought it was soooo awesome. I always gave my son a little money.
