Tooth Farree

I didn't even realize that Maddie had a lose tooth.  On a Saturday in the beginning of February she woke up all excited.  She says "Mom look!  I have a loose tooth."  I looked into her mouth and sure enough she had a loose tooth.  Not only was it loose, it was so loose that she could probably have it pulled in the next few days.  She actually went to Matt and said "Dad will you pull out my tooth with the pliers?"  He looked in her mouth and checked her tooth.  He said it wasn't quite ready to be pulled.  She wiggled it all day.  She went to one of her friends Baptisms and told everyone she had a loose tooth.  She also showed it to them.  She went home and wiggled it and wiggled it.  On Sunday Morning it was even more loose.  She wiggled it in our primary class, and she had to tell everyone about it once again.  The plan was to go home and pull it out after church was over.  She went into sharing time for primary and wiggled it with her tounge and guess what?  Yep you guessed it!  The tooth fell out.  Maddie was super excited.  The Primary President found a little zip lock baggie and gave it to Maddie so she could put her tooth in it.  After primary was over and it was time to go Maddie found me and was so excited to show me her tooth.  She wanted to get home so she could write a letter to the tooth fairy.  This is what she wrote:

Tooth Fairy please give me a tooth brush and something I can't understand. Just like so pretty and it is pink. we gowing to be.  I think that is what it says.  Sometimes it is so hard to decipher writing for little children.  I tried my best.  See if you can do any better and let me know.

She went and put her tooth and the letter under her pillow right away.  When it was time for bed she looked under the pillow to make sure it was all there.  I tucked her in, and said let's move your tooth and your letter to the other end of the bed.  She didn't ask questions, but I just said it would probably be easier for your tooth fairy to get your letter and the tooth, and leave you a little present.
I was planning on putting money in the zip lock bag, and then I got caught up in a movie with Matt.  It was really late when we went to bed.  I totally forgot about Maddie's tooth.  In the morning I went to wake up the girls to get ready for school.  I went to Maddie first and saw the letter and said shoot!  Maddie sat up.  I had to make a quick cover up story so maddie wouldn't be sad.  Maddie looked down at the end of the bed and saw that her tooth was still there along with the letter.  I told her don't me sad.  Your toothfairy probably had so many teeth to collect last night that she was so exhausted.  She will probably give you something even better.  Maddie perked up at those words.
so that night I had to get my act together, and remember.  I wrote a little note that said something like Dear Madisynn sorry I was late.  Enjoy this extra money!  Love your tooth fairy. =)  I put a dollar bill inside the bag with the note and took out the tooth, and put the gift at the end of Maddies bed.  In the morning she woke up and found the baggie.  And waved it around with excitement.  She was happy her tooth fairy came and left a her a dollar.  It's so easy to make kids happy.  I love it!
