At Allyson's 6th birthday, we noticed that she had a second set of teeth growing behind her first set of baby teeth. Just like any concerned mother would, I called her dentist to see if this is normal. Well to my surprise, it was normal, however he still wanted to take a double look. So yesterday, I took all of the kids into the dentist office for their 6 month check up and to my surprise, Allyson's was more than a checkup as I anticipated. After taking thorough Xrays again, they discovered that the root on Ally's two front teeth were EXTREMELY long so they had to do a surgical "wiggle". I don't know if you can see it in her hand, but the root is the long white thing, one of the longest roots I have ever seen. After the trauma of the blood and anesthetic, Ally was sure happy to know that the tooth fairy would be coming to her house. This was our discussion:
A: "How does the Tooth Fairy come in the house?"
L: "It all depends, sometimes she can fly through a window, or sometimes she can come through the door."
A: "What if my door is locked?"
L: "Then I guess that she will have to knock on the door".
A: "But then I would see her and she wouldn't be able to leave me a surprise"
L: "Well then we better leave the window and the door unlocked so that she can come in."
A: "Mommy, what if the tooth fairy was a boy?"
L: "Then he would look pretty funny wearing tight tights and fairy dust"
A: "That would be really funny, what if she looks under my pillow and doesn't see it under my pillow?"
L: "The tooth fairy knows where to look, that is one of her special things".
A: "What if she can't open the tooth box?"
L: "She can wave her special fairy wand and it opens up or sometimes, if it is small enough, she will take the whole box and put it in her special bag!"
A:" Oh okay, goodnight mommy! I better go to sleep before the tooth fairy comes."
She was so excited to find the money in the morning, she had to wake everyone up to tell us! Yeah Ally~ (Now go back to bed it is only 5:30 in the morning!

I bet you were exhausted by the end of that explaination! In our house Grandma is the tooth fairy. We just mail the tooth to Grandma and she mails back a dollar. Makes life easier that way.
That is too cute! One of my girls actually asked once if the tooth fairy could leave some fairy dust instead of money. When I said, "Yes, but it won't be magic anymore", she said, "Never mind, I'll take the money"
