Joshua is 5 1/2 and he lost his first tooth this week! He was SO excited, jumping up and down, and he couldn't wait to put it under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy! I know that the Tooth Fairy is unusually generous in some parts of the country :), in fact, I know a house where when the Tooth Fairy visits, a $20 bill is left for each tooth. Wow! Really??? But here at our home, the Tooth Fairy visits and keeps it pretty simple :). After all, I think it is meant to be just a token of fun, not another opportunity to well...overindulge. Heck, when I was a kid, it was never over 50 cents! So Joshua put his tooth under the pillow, and sure enough the Tooth Fairy came and left him two $1 bills and some change. Joshua popped up at 6 AM and immediately looked under his pillow. You would have thought it was Christmas! He was jumping for joy with his treasure!
Love it! ($20...really???)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Same here in our household... R20 = about $2, that's it, NOT $20 are you kidding me!! What do you give these kids at Bday parties, if they already get a $20 bill for 1 tooth!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Joshua!! What a big boy!
ReplyDeleteYAY Awesome Joshua!! That means that Caden's first loose tooth can't be far behind seeing how they're exactly the same age and all. :) ( I still love that they have the same birthday and we were in the same hospital having them! )
ReplyDeleteThe Tooth Fairy will be pretty conservative in this house as well. A Dollar and perhaps maybe some cool pencils ( Caden's been into cool pencils lately lol ).
