Last night Kassi had a brilliant idea to try putting a dollar under her pillow to see if the toothfairy would change it back into a tooth.
OK, I am going slightly in a different direction here, but I think it is funny how we believe things growing up and other people's perceptions of the same things are totally different. For instance, I thought the toothfairy just brought a dollar and took my tooth, replacing it with money...I also thought the toothfairy was the size of an adult. Brad, on the other hand, thought the toothfairy changed his tooth into money...no cash box or collecting teeth required, I guess, and he thought the toothfairy was extremely tiny like Tinkerbell. McKenna believed the toothfairy had x-ray vision and could see through the pillow to know whether or not her tooth was there....haha! These ideas would make for a great children's story.
So, Kassi put the dollar under her pillow thinking she would trick the toothfairy and she tells me she wants to continue switching it every night...so, I then tuck Kenna into bed in her room and she says, "mom, what are you going to do?!!" I said, "I don't know...I don't think it is possible for the toothfairy...wink, wink, to turn the dollar back into a tooth." So, she says, "if there is a tooth under there in the morning, I am going to freak out!!!"
Little does McKenna know Brad has kept all their teeth...I know, SO GROSS!!! I am the one who throws stuff away, but he seems to find sentimental value in everything :-) So, we could put a tooth under Kassi's pillow...I am thinking this is going to be so fun, but I thought I have to write a note from the toothfairy to tell Kassi she only gets one chance to switch back to the tooth b/c if I don't do this I will have to be the toothfairy every night! So, there was a warning note in the tooth bag regarding no takebacks.
Kenna and Kassi came running downstairs with the tooth baggie in the morning and could not believe this happened...Kenna said, "it's not even Kassi's tooth (b/c it was one of Kennas :-), it is probably some kid's tooth from China!"
Somethimes I can't believe how fun it is to be parents!!!!
We have just about every one of our children's teeth too! I log them, the day they lost them, what tooth it was and if their were any interesting circumstances. CRAZY, I know! But they enjoy it. :)
