After several weeks of terrorizing classmates (and Mommy) with her precariously wiggly tooth, Jessica finally met me at the gate after school with a nice space in her bottom row of teeth. So proud, happy, sticking her tongue through the hole, checking it out. We took the tooth home, cleaned it up, and set it on the nightstand for the Tooth Fairy that night.
And I promptly forgot all about it.
Thank goodness for Rebecca! She always gets up and dressed before Jessie even pokes her head out of the covers, and I heard her calling from the other room, "I can't wait to see what the Tooth Fairy left for Jessica!" My eyes bugged out of my head, and I sprinted downstairs, grabbed two shiny quarters and a miniature kitty from my toy stash, raced back upstairs and had everything set out before Jessie even registered the fact that the alarm had gone off and she was supposed to get up.
Whew. That Rebecca saved my behind!
My daughter puts her lost teeth deep under her pillow, which makes for interesting middle of the night swapping ...

My little sister once drank my tooth - it was in a glass of water -on top of the wardrobe !!
I'm glad the tooth fairy has it covered at your place...

You are one lucky mom. My "toother" right now is the one kid that gets up before everyone in the house. She had to learn the sad rule that the TF can't visit if your room isn't tidy....

Hahaha! That short letter from your daughter is pretty straightforward! But the misspelled words are charming. I'm sure her wish will be granted once the adult tooth breaks out.
