Fairy Dust....that is what our Tooth Fairy leaves on the money she gives for losing a tooth! One sparkly dollar bill and a tulle bag filled with 6 sparkly quarters.....
But let's back up a little bit.....I need to start back at the end of last school year....summer was coming and ALL I mean ALL of K's little friends (even ones a year or two younger than her) were losing their teeth...she was so bummed. She thought she was THE ONLY ONE in her class and group of friends that hadn't lost a tooth. So I took her and Avery to the Dentist the beginning of August for their 6 month cleaning and (wink, wink) the hygenist and I told Kyndall her bottom tooth felt a little loose....
Fast Forward a couple of weeks and it is the third day of school. Kyndall comes home Wednesday afternoon and says her tooth feels a little more wiggly and it hurts to chew. So I felt it (after washing my hands) and sure enough it was wiggly. I thought it had a couple of days, but wanted Kyndall to have a cool toothfairy pillow to put her tooth in when she lost it. So she picked out leopard print fabric and we got her ready for bed. 6:00 am the next morning she comes in our room with a huge smile on her face and her wiggly tooth (not so wiggly anymore) in her hand!! She was SOOOOO excited!!!
Oh my goodness is this girl cute with a missing tooth!!! I know it was probably a bit annoying to her new teacher, but I let her bring her tooth to school so she could show Mrs. Cummings and her class.....sorry Mrs. Cummings!!! Anyway, I love to sew, and can hardly find the time with all three munchkins, but I managed to make her a toothfairy pillow before school was over....I took a picture with a dollar bill in it just so you could see the tooth pocket...I gave it to Kyndall with no money in it (you know, that is the TF's job).
The back of it is leopard print too.....She was soooo excited to get it, she even wanted to go to bed early so the TF would come! I found the cutest Tooth Fairy Certificate online and printed it off, grabbed some glue stick and glitter for the dollar bill, and made a small bag out of tulle and ribbon for the coins.
Right before bed I snuck in her room and she had left this note for the toothfairy in her TF pillow:
Dear Tooth Fairy, can I (keep) my tooth?
How cute huh! So I left the tooth, ewww, I know, but what can you do...she even remembered the question mark!! So we have experienced our first toothfairy visit, and now we have the cutest certificate where we can keep track of when she looses each tooth....
Today, I need to work on a teething necklace for Little Em because she just happens to be getting a tooth, ironic right??!!

You are the most creative Mommy I know! Seriously Kristi...you are super impressive! I'm ashamed of myself. I need to step up my mommy game. I'm going to print this off so I remember to do this when my kids start loosing teeth. SO CUTE! I never would have thought of the fairy dust. And congrats to sweet little Kyndall! She looks so adorable.
Your post reminded me of the Junie B Jones book. when she lost her first tooth, her baby brother got a new tooth. It's a cute story. :)
BTW - Caroline still has all her teeth, and the dentist told her it would probably be after Christmas before any wiggled. :(
