Tooth Fairy Drama
I was out of town on business last weekend (L.A. Baby Show, I'll blog about that later). As I was getting ready to leave I told my daughter with the wiggly tooth to please not loose it while Mommy was gone. I told her it was because I wanted to be here for all the excitement of the Tooth Fairy (TF) and I didn’t want to miss out. But really I was worried about TripletDad taking on TF duty. This tooth has been wiggly for almost a month and it has been very stubborn – to the point that the adult tooth is almost halfway grown in behind it! So on Saturday I called my husband to check in and say goodnight to the triplets. He told me that she had lost the tooth an hour before dinner. I told him where the TF keeps her treasure (Gold coin dollars) and where our kids keep their TF pouches; so he was all set to go. I called on Sunday while packing up the show and getting ready to head for the airport. I was too afraid to ask how he did with TF duty and I didn’t want to pester him if it went badly. I got home way after the kids were tucked in that night. But TripletDad fessed up with his story. He had tried 3 times to get the bag out from under the pillow and each time she had stirred and seemed to almost wake up, so he gave up and figured he would try in the morning. (I found out later that he had let her put it under the pillow instead of the way I do it which is to put it there for her – strategically so I know where it is and it is off to the side, not dead center) So in the morning, she came out to breakfast and didn’t say a word. TripletDad thought she had forgotten about it and took it as his chance. He made the switch and then went to the kitchen. Casually he asked her if the TF had come. She said, “no, my tooth was still there.” He said, “Are you sure? Maybe you weren’t quite awake and you only dreamed she didn’t come” She ran to her room and this time found the treasure. He thought he had gotten away with it but... When I woke her up for school on Monday morning she told me, “Mommy the Tooth Fairy came while I was eating breakfast!” LOL! She's a smart one. How much longer will the trusting innocence last? 6 comments from 6 users

My kids have figured out that we must be the last stop on the tooth fairy's, Santa's & the Easter Bunny's route. They often times come late here. Once we all had to go back to bed so the Easter Bunny could hide the eggs.

That is so funny! My daughter's at the age where I can buy her presents in front of her and two days later she's still surprised.

I have actually used a trick another slacker Tooth Fairy taught me. It's called the Did You Check Inside The Pillow Case? manuever. Because you know, sometimes the Tooth Fairy gets lost. Wink, wink. posted by

Oh that's a good one. We had the tooth fairy come while he was in the potty a few times too. That dang forgetful fairy! Hahaha.
