The tooth has left the mouth

Julia lost her tooth last night.  The tooth fairy myth never captured my imagination as a kid- I still think it is lame.  The Easter Bunny HAS to be the worst myth ever.....but anyways.... My kids have put together that there are different fairies for different kids.  This works out well, as apparently they have a friend who gets letters with each tooth.  I had a hard enough time staying awake to slip the money under the pillow...

I met them half way and folder the bill in a funky way and signed it "Tink."  I am trying hard not to let all of these fleeting childhood moments race by... It sure made m smile to wake up with my daughter racing around the house with the news that the tooth fairy came.

Sometimes your kids will say something, and you try to figure out where they picked it up.  Today, Julia told me that the money was going to the poor people.  She told me that she does no need anything.  I guess hat we are doing something right as parents.
