nick lost his first tooth while we were in san diego, on our way to the zoo...while eating an apple...and must have swallowed it...and never said a single word about it until daddy randomly noticed he was missing it when we walked into the zoo! then, all heck broke loose, because "it bleed" and nick is NOT a fan of the "bleed". after calming him down, and surmising that he swallowed it, and telling him that it's ok to tell us that he's lost a tooth, that it's a good thing & that he will get money from the tooth fairy for each tooth, all was good. we didn't have a real tooth to put under his pillow, so instead we used a piece of folded paper as his "tooth" {may have been daddy's folded up beer label...may not have been...}. here's how things went down the next morning:
momma: good morning nick! what'cha doin? did the tooth fairy come see you?
nick: no! she didn't leave me anything! see!
momma: looks like there's something there...
nick: yeah. just this paper! {of which he had wadded up because he apparently didn't have a clue what it was...or probably thought it was still the "tooth" we had placed under there the night before}
momma & daddy: well...that looks like that's money!
nick: this paper is money? but it's not coins!
momma & daddy: yeah bud! that's $5! it's worth more than the coins!
{if the tooth fairy had known she coulda just left a few quarters...}
nick: oh! this is a lot of money?
momma & daddy: yep! you can use it to buy something you see while we're out & about today!
nick: really?! i can BUY something?!
momma & daddy: yep! anything you want that costs $5!
nick: granny! poppa! look! i got MONEY!!!
nick has since lost his 2nd tooth...of which the tooth fairy paid him in a sandwich baggie full of coins. she ain't no dummy! ;o)
xoxo...liese :o)
