Little K lost another tooth yesterday. This is not something that happens very often anymore since K is getting older and most of the teeth in her mouth are now there to stay. Since it had been a while since our last visit from the Tooth Fairy, K laid out quite the spread. Pictured above we have a cup (3/4 of an inch) filled with water, a bowl full of Ritz cracker crumbs, a tiny fork, tiny lantern, tiny wash bin (for dirty Tooth Fairy clothes), and a tiny bathtub (to relax in after a long flight). Not to mention the note K left, complete with red hearts.
You would think that with such hospitality, the Tooth Fairy would be waiting with baited breath for the day that K loses a tooth. So imagine my surprise when poor K ran into my room this morning so upset because the Tooth Fairy failed to show. To my horror, she actually announced, "Mom, I am starting to not believe in the Tooth Fairy because she was late last time too!" Oops, I had forgotten about that.
So I explained (again) that sometimes the Tooth Fairy gets lost or forgets that someone has moved twice that year or is stuck in a snowstorm, or (since K actually pulled this tooth out) maybe the Tooth Fairy was just not expecting the tooth to come so soon....and on and on.
Tonight as K went to bed, once again arranging all her miniature items, I promised her that the Tooth Fairy would surely realize her mistake and come tonight. After all, she cannot mess it up two nights in a row! Right?!

Did she come??? The tooth fairy has been known to hit our house while the toothless child was in the shower.... The miniature set-up for her is adorable. We don't do that, maybe that's why she's always late to our house. Too busy relaxing in K's hot tub I bet.
The tooth fairy has been fired at our house many a-time...and they know it's me! Cute post. :)
Sooo cute! I totally picture her setting all of that up, she is so sweet!! You are soo good at coming up with quick explanations... I'll be remembering this for the future!
I don't even know what to say! Wow. The "spread" is fantastic- the story moving- very adorable.
Honestly, our tooth-fairy SUCKS!
She's almost always late, she only leaves .50cents and when my older girls speculated that the tooth-fairy wasn't real.... she stopped coming to them! ---Christmas time, when the older 3 started discussing whether or not Santa was real... I reminded them what happened when they stopped believing in the tooth-fairy. End of discussion.
Good job K. If I were a tooth-fairy I'd visit you house first!
Is this a family tradition to stage for the tooth fairy's arrival?
My youngest sister once was a similar victim of a no-show by the t.f. She thought it was due to the fact that she actually physically lost her tooth after it fell out at school. Perhaps the tooth was necessary to fulfill her end of the contract. She wrote a lengthy appeal letter to the t.f. and put it under her pillow the next night. It worked.
K cracks me up. Aren't you guys due for a visit to Boise yet? Hey you look really pretty in the picture just below.
