Chris was thinking quickly on his feet and said that the Tooth Fairy must have been busy. So the next night I wanted to make up for it.
UNFORTUNATELY, this happened:
I lost my tooth in the drain.
It was like we were doomed! Thankfully Chris saved the day and was able to retrieve the tooth in the trap underneath the sink. So I made sure to write her a letter explaining what happened.
Dear Penelope,
I'm sorry to hear that your tooth went down the drain! I bet that you felt sad. Luckily, I'm small enough I was able to find it! Thank you! Be sure to tell your mom and dad to clean down there. It's stinky.
You have some great teeth! Keep brushing and flossing.
Love, The Tooth Fairy
She was thrilled. Over the moon, in fact! She sent a second letter to the tooth fairy and made her a little house.
I liked the little card. It was funny. I wanted to give you something. (She attached a $2 bill to the note)
So of course, the Tooth Fairy slept over when it was a little too windy one night.
Dear Penelope,
Thank you for making me such a beautiful home to visit! It was too windy last night for me to make it home safely, so I slept over.
I hear you have a couple of loose teeth! I'm excited to see those when they come out.
You are a very sweet and caring [girl]. Thanks for looking out for this old fairy.
Love, The Tooth Fairy
She loves her relationship with the tooth fairy! I wanted to make sure that she kept this documentation so I got matching Amac boxes. One for her notes and one for the teeth that the Tooth Fairy collects. It's been fun. Now I'm anxiously awaiting her next loose tooth to fall out!
