The tooth fairy

One of the great things about having kids is remembering the magic of childhood. Yesterday, while were at Chili’s having lunch my oldest decided to pull his loose tooth out right in the middle of the restuarant. Yes, there was blood but excitement. The entire meal he played with his tongue coming out of the newly made hole in his mouth. When we got home he put the tooth in a tic tac container and put it under is pillow. I love the fact that he is 7 almost 8 and still believes in the tooth fairy. It just warms your heart when they run in your room in the morning going “Mom the tooth fairy left me money.” with the biggest toothless grin. What’s even better is that is younger brother was so excited for him and can’t wait to loose his teeth.

One thought on “The tooth fairy

  1. Yeah… my 8-yr old came up to me last time he lost a tooth and said, “Mom… the tooth fairy isn’t real.” I asked him why he thinks that. He replied, “Because my tooth has been under my pillow for five days and she hasn’t come!” Um… oops!
