(Tooth) Fairy tales

Notice anything different?  Sebastian lost two of his baby teeth this past week.  You can hardly notice the gaps on the upper row because his adult teeth have crowded out the baby teeth.  

The first time he lost his tooth, he came into our room at 2:30 a.m. to let us know.  Michael was barely awake so I tucked Sebastian back in bed.  I took some money out of my purse and put it on my nightstand along with the tooth.  I was going to put the money under the pillow before we got up in the morning.  Luckily, Ava came in around 5:30 a.m. looking for her blankie and I remembered to fulfill the Tooth Fairy duty.

Later in the day, Sebastian brought up the Tooth Fairy while he was doing his homework.  He said he didn't think there was such thing as a Tooth Fairy.  I asked him how he came to that conclusion or why he was thinking about it.  He said he was awake this morning and he was pretending to be asleep.  He felt a hand go under his pillow.  I asked him to describe what the Tooth Fairy was wearing and he said he couldn't see because his eyes were closed.  But he could tell it was probably Mommy or Daddy.  He said the Tooth Fairy was wearing pajamas.  I think he's unto me   :-(

Michael had a funny story to tell me after the kids went to bed.  He said he almost forgot to put money under the pillow so when he went to make Sebastian's bed, he noticed that Sebastian hadn't checked yet.   Michael pulled up the pillow and slipped the money under.  He noticed that I had already put some money there and took back his money.  In the nick of time too because Sebastian came into the room.  Boy, wouldn't Sebastian have been surprised if there was double the amount left by the Tooth Fairy.  Sebastian told me that his friend got a whole quarter for his tooth.  

Sebastian came into our room at 6:30 a.m. this morning to tell us his second tooth came out.  The Tooth Fairy has to make another appearance tonight.  We'll see how things go in the morning ;-D  I think the Tooth Fairy theory is going to be blown out of the water (from a nine year old standpoint anyway).
