Another Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Jennifer's lost another tooth!! Unfortunately, it fell out at school whilst she was playing on the oval, fell into the grass, never to be seen again! Needless to say, Jennifer was devasted....how would the tooth fairy collect her tooth?? To the rescue her lovely teacher, she wrote a gorgeous note to the Tooth Fairy explaining what had happened. Jennifer added a few more touches and under the pillow it went. I explained that the tooth fairy would know where to look to find her tooth once she received the note - all was well!!! How lovely that a teacher would write a note, to a mythical fantasy creature, to alleviate the despair of a child!

I opened my eyes with a start at 6:03 this morning, arghhhhh, the "tooth fairy" has forgotten to take the note and leave tooth money!!!! Tippy-toe, tippy-toe, ever so quietly into Jennifer's room, carefully slide out the note from under her pillow and replace with a coin. Tippy-toe, tippy-toe, ever so quietly, back to my room and back into bed, phew! Lay quietly and listen intently, has she woken??? Ahhhh, all is as it should be!

When Jennifer awoke and came out to the kitchen, the smile was dazzling, outstretched hand with the precious coin. "I told you the tooth fairy would come!" I said, "she always knows."
Let us just hope that Jennifer doesn't find her tooth on the oval today!!!!! But do not fear - I have Plan B ready...It will go something like this..... " it definitely must be another child's tooth, and we will put it in a glass of water for the tooth fairy to collect and she will leave the money for the child at their house, under their pillow - because the tooth fairy will know who the tooth came from".....won't she!!!!!
Long live the tooth fairy in us all!
