Our toothfairy always leaves a brand new TOOTHBRUSH,a special coin for saving (gold $1,1/2 dollar,$2 bill etc.)and a few dollars for spending. Sometimes she will leave a little trial size toothpaste too. And of course fairy dust under the pillow-that is my dd's favorite part! The T.F. is a VERY big deal in our house. Such an exciting time in a childs life! <br /><br />BTW-not sure if this is where I should ask but is the SHADES OF SUMMER over?

For my DGD,The tooth fairy leaves glitter from her wings under the pillow along with a dollar gold coin. Sometimes she leaves 2 of the coins. But always different color glitter from her wings. Makes it more fun! DD lost her first tooth down the drain in the bathroom sink. She came running and crying to daddy. My tooth my tooth daddy you have to get my tooth! Yes daddy took the pipes apart and found the tooth! That first tooth is in her scrapbook now!

She was so excited to go and the second week of school when I was there to have lunch before volunteering in her classroom, she excitedly ran up to me in the lunchroom "Mommy, my tooth is loose!" I couldn't believe it! She started Kindergarten, and this tremendous rite of passage in the same month? How could it be? She had just turned five in July. Sure enough, I wiggled her tooth with my shirt (hate germs) and it was loose. When class resumed, there I was holding back tears while looking at her smiling face, I told her I would grab a coffee before it was my turn to help out. Then I promptly left school and grabbed a cup, called my sister and cried. Feeling much better, I went to her classroom. . . Enjoy these days, they go by so quickly. She starts 2nd Grade after Labor Day and can't wait to look inside her desk that swings up. Indeed, starting 1st Grade she was so psyched to get to swing open her desk, they didn't have that in Kindergarten! Enjoy those small moments, because they are the ones that really matter.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742886537294406994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-26354051332915706222011-08-26T05:23:32.312-06:002011-08-26T05:23:32.312-06:00My 2nd daughter swallowed her loose tooth in a cup...My 2nd daughter swallowed her loose tooth in a cupcake......there was no getting it back. We wrote a letter to the tooth fairy explaining the situation. In the end the tooth fairy left $1 with a note saying it was all okay. Her dad works in a jewelry store-so he took her 2nd tooth and put a cap on it with a ring at the top and she was able to wear it on a necklace. That was great for a few days--now it is safely tucked away in my jewelry box for someday...kshKristy Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199113017470637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-53115108961265331222011-08-26T02:43:52.604-06:002011-08-26T02:43:52.604-06:00Such beautiful pics, such lovely girl and such won...Such beautiful pics, such lovely girl and such wonderful story you told us!So.Creativehttp://www.so.creative.over-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-75566572187968183012011-08-26T01:36:14.787-06:002011-08-26T01:36:14.787-06:00Got a lump reading this...brought back memories......Got a lump reading this...brought back memories...(not too long ago!)

My son is starting kindergarten in the fall, and I'm thinking one of his bottom teeth is getting loose, it looks like it's shifting position a little. I remember losing my first tooth - on the way home from a sleepover, I was walking alone (a few blocks), it had just started to snow, and voila, my tooth was gone. No idea if I swallowed it or if it fell out. I backtracked and looked for it but never did find it. In Canada leaving coins is pretty easy since our $1 and $2 currency are coins (affectionately called Loonies and Twonies - the Loonie came first and is so called because of the loon on the front...).DeAnna Allanhttps://www.lovescrapbooking.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6792453554780167818.post-45181760529064250092011-08-25T19:14:09.955-06:002011-08-25T19:14:09.955-06:00WOW!
