The Tooth Fairy

I am a very bad mother/Tooth Fairy. I forgot to visit the little princess who lost not one but two teeth yesterday. I may be a bad mother/tooth fairy BUT I think quickly on my feet. Dahlia refused to go to bed last night and finally closed her light at 11:30 pm. I just told her that she went to bed too late for the tooth fairy. She has to get to sleep by 12 to be rested enough to fly around and pick up all the teeth. Then I strongly suggested that the young lady go to sleep on time tonight so the tooth fairy will be sure to visit.

All evening I reminded myself to play my part. We have a fancy tooth fairy in our house. I (I mean she) always write a note in a tooth shape thanking the children for their tooth and remind them to brush their teeth and listen to mom and dad.

I'm off to write the note. I know she's really not sure if it's real or if it's me but I'm glad to play a long. It means she still a little girl who is not so grown up. I know she'll always be my little girl but she's in such a rush to be a grown up and this just gives us a little more time.

I look forward to this role all over again with Noah.
