Tooth Fairy

a pillow

When I put my kids to bed, I don’t go in a check on them. I don’t go in and cover them up. I put them to bed and then see them in the morning. I realize I’m in the minority with this and that’s ok. But because I don’t go in, I have no idea if my kids are heavy sleepers, etc. So the whole tooth fairy thing can be a disaster. I just see myself stepping on the loudest toy, not being able to find the tooth, or worse- being busted in the act. So when Taylor lost his first tooth, I made Greg go in and play tooth fairy while I stood outside the door having an anxiety attack for him. He was totally fine and all was well. However, we have been known to loose a tooth even before the tooth fairy could come. Not anymore. We are ready this time! And even I can handle this new way of being the Tooth Fairy.

You crack me up! Half the fun of the Tooth Fairy is the anxiety of them waking up! If "The Rock" can do it, you can too!
