I am the worst tooth fairy ever! I forget, sometimes for days, weeks even! Sometimes when there has been an accumulation of teeth, I just tell them to round up all their pearly whites and cash them in the kitchen, "the tooth fairy has been busy and asked me to fill in...". I have even recruited Chester occasionally since he is sometimes the last one to fall asleep....
Yesterday, Avé lost a baby molar. She put it in a container and put it under her pillow and I, of course, completely forgot about it. This morning I woke to a rattling sound... Shiloh was standing in my doorway... "Here is Avé's tooth, I gave her a dollar."
I may be a complete and utter failure as a tooth fairy, but I must be doing something right as a mom, at least some days.
Now, I just owe Shiloh a dollar, not that she expects to be paid back..... such a sweetheart, I am beaming with pride and completely humbled.

That was so sweet of her!
I am also a dismal failure as a tooth fairy. Many, many mornings when we woke up, the kids rummaged under their pillows and sadly declared, "The tooth fairy didn't take my tooth." And I always had to make a lame excuse, or run up there and tell the kids, "You didn't look hard enough" as I slipped a tardy quarter under their pillow.
Amy, you must have forgotten your own tooth fairy mishaps. She wasn't any better and possibly worse. She didn't visit you when you lost your very first tooth. Now that's really a bad fairy! My first child and her first tooth and she screwed it up. I forget the excuse she gave but you tried again the next night and sure enough, she showed. AND life goes on. :-) AND I STILL BELIEVE IN FAIRIES
