tooth fairy................................?

[jmg1]

DS's first tooth to fall out was today, can he put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy to collect?

if you want to do that then yes.

Aw....of course he can. When he wakes up in the morning he will find £1 (or local currency equivalent ) under his pillow.

The tooth fairy will take the tooth and use it to build her castle with. It needs lots of teeth and is never finished. She can't use pound coins (or other local currency) because they roll away. So I am told by my dds anyway.

Thanks!

DD put hers under her pillow last night with a note asking if it was Ok for granny to get the first one. In the morning she found a pound coin and a sprinkle of fairy dust.

Terrible mother alert - I forgot to tell the tooth fairy to visit last week and DD got up with a big sad face and said she hadn't been.

Holy crapola - I felt awful. So I went upstairs, told DH I was a crap mother and he should trade me in for a good mother for his children and quickly put some money under her pillow and took the tooth.

DH got up, says to DD, I just heard a noise in your room, did you leave your radio on? Winks at me. DD wanders upstairs finds the newly deposited money and is all smiles (gappy smiles!). All before 7am! I said the tooth fairy must have had a busy night and was a bit late.

Phew, it's hard work this remembering lark!

I forgot one visit too Dd was very good about it and the fairy wrote a letter saying she'd hurt her wing the night before and couldn't fly. Yes well,ahem. I'm often donwstairs late into the night with glitter, glue and felt pens composing fairy correspondence.

I'm all for doing the tooth fairy thing, but under the pillow?? We put the tooth in a little pot. I am sure I'd wake up dd fumbling about looking for the tooth.

As it was she sat bolt upright in bed as I was mid 'fairy duty' one time. We stared at each other for a second (seemed like ages!), then she lay down and carried on sleeping - me with heart hammering standing stock still in my nightie, not knowing whether to carry on or not. God my nerves can't take this - I've got two more children due to start this soon too. One is a light sleeper and they share a room!

Tiny Gang, our tooth pot goes on the mantelpiece (the same mantelpiece where we leave the stockings at Christmas), so that the tooth fairy doesn't need to disturb the dds who need their beauty sleep

KBear, blimey what a quick-thinking dh you have!

Feisty - it was one-off ha ha ha ha!
