{epic fail}

If you know me, you know that I've had quite the few tooth fairy mishaps. 

I won't go into details over those in the past; been there, done that. 

Over the past week, Noah lost two molars. 

The first one was picked up a night late because, well, he didn't

go to bed at bedtime.  You know, the Tooth Fairy is strict like that.

Just ask Dr. Aunt Angie.  We have lots of inside information.

Well, on tooth #2, the unthinkable happened.

My mom came over.  And, because the tooth was still under

his pillow IN A SOCK because, once again he has missed

bedtime the night before. {obviously, she does not give any

mercy for a summer schedule}.  Well, my mom did some laundry

for me.  The tooth was never to be found. 

So, being the sad mom that I was, I wrote a letter.

Dear Sweet Tooth Fairy:

{No pun intended, really}.  As the proud mom of a super

little guy, I have a heartfelt request.

Last night Noah pulled a tooth.  As you know, he pulled a left

molar a week ago.  This one is the matching molar on the right. 

He placed it in a sock under his pillow last night.  As you are well

aware, he went to bed past his bedtime and broke the Tooth Fairy

Constitution.  So, you did not come.  Well, today, Grandma Pat came. 

 And, unknown to her was the treasure in his sock that she found in his bed

as she made it. 

We think she laundered it. :( 

I know you are a very considerate little lady.  Please make a special

exception and make a visit tonight.  If we ever find it, we will notify Aunt

Angie  {aka Dr. Wiggins} as we know that the two of you are great friends.

She can either forward it to you by her courier or give us permission to place

it under his pillow  again.  I will make certain he gets to bed on time.

With Best Regards,

Shannon  Walker

{happy to also be known as Noah's mom}

ps, we know you very likely have a busy night.

Please fly safely.

ch-ching!  she came and left $5! :)

we are definitely firing our tooth fairy! you know, she's not been up on her duties from the very first lost tooth...what was that? she had to fly to the ATM at 9 pm? on several occasions she failed to put $ under the pillow, but, redeemed herself within her 24-hour grace period. remember the near-broken toe incident? well, i do! well......noah lost another tooth a couple weeks ago. she earned her keep on that tooth. left a $5 bill under HIS pillow (this time) and the tooth was gone. or, so we thought. about four days ago....noah came running to me as guess what he found on the floor? imagine that? he was very concerned because he could not decide if she dropped it out of her pouch (didn't know tooth fairies had pouches, but obviously, there is alot i do not know) or if she intended to leave it for me as he knows it makes me sad when he loses them. hmmmm......i was so dumbfounded (aka caught) i failed to come up with a quick answer, thus a phone call to dr. aunt angie, because they are very, very good friends.

so, the jury is still out on that one. obviously when she stuck it in another pillow case for retrieval.......she forgot. nice. and, how in the world am i suppose to keep up with santa?
