Tooth Fairy

It has been a BIG week for little L! She attended her first sleep-over on Friday night (and came home cranky and tired, but that's nothing new...) Monday evening she discovered her first loose tooth, and by yesterday afternoon it was out!



Several of her little friends have recently lost their first tooth as well. Consequently, she has been hearing tales of the Tooth Fairy for the past week or three. Apparently the Tooth Fairy likes a glass of water by the bedside of the toothless child, in which to bathe. After her bath, the water will retain some residual color and fairy dust (glitter).

J told L yesterday that although fairies usually cannot fly with wet wings, the Tooth Fairy has special magic that will dry her wings quickly. This way she can continue her rounds at lightning fast fairy speed.

In addition, the Tooth Fairy left L a letter, congratulating her on the loss of her first tooth. J received a similar one after losing her first tooth. It's a little different when there is an older sibling around. J's only comment was, "The Tooth Fairy has a computer?"
