Dear Princesita, she just can't get this whole losing-teeth thing down.
Deal is, she puts the lost tooth under her pillow so the Tooth Fairy can grace her pillow with a small token of gratitude? of rite of passage? whatever. The point is, she gets something.
This time, a Little Pony and 50 cents for her piggy bank.
But she lost the tooth. Again.
It came out as we were Mingling with the Masses this Black Friday (a tradition my mother enjoys, and it was fun for us as we didn't get too involved with The Masses) at the local Mall.
(sidenote) Mom was hit with some culture shock she hadn't experienced for many years today. She had never seen so many people in a mall as she saw today. In her life.
Okay. So I told K to put the tooth in her pocket so that it would not get lost this time.
I do know it got home. She took it out at some point in our basement, placed it in her new Barbie house, from which it fell and, in her words, "bounced in the carpet". We have a burber carpeting, rather enamel-colored with flecks of other colors, not a shag. So one would think that it would be fairly easy to find this little bottom front baby tooth.
Think again.
Never found. That's two for two. I told her that the Tooth Fairy is going to stop believing that she's actually losing teeth if she doesn't start producing.
The Tooth Fairy likes results.
She wants teeth.
She needs a trade-in for the good stuff.
Now this, of course, made K cry.
--sigh--
I guess we'll work on it for the third tooth.

:) I have some of Rach's teeth in a bag in my box. She lost a few at school, got all excited to tell me at home and then couldn't ever find them.
ResponderEliminarI told her the Tooth Fairy had radar and would know where it was because she was really upset. I used to give her the gold dollars for a tooth.
And then there was the problem of an active sleeper and having to search the room in the morning because it wasn't ever where I slipped it under her pillow.
In these days of "get now, pay later", it won't sound the least bit weird if you tell your daughter to put an "I.O.U." under the pillow, explaining to the Tooth Fairy that said tooth was lost and would be sent on later when its found. (You can always tell her you found it and sent it on later on). I don't think Tooth Fairies charge interest for at least 90 days.
ResponderEliminarDramas!! At least she has a few more teeth to get it right eventually! (I wonder where that tooth got to?)
