Charlotte had a loose tooth for a couple of weeks. Last Saturday morning while we were at the church for a drive through breakfast social in the parking lot, Charlotte was eating her breakfast burrito when her tooth came out! She was so excited! I wrapped it in a napkin and put it in my pocket until we got home. Then I put it in a small snack size zip lock bag. She put it under her pillow, excited for the Tooth Fairy to come that night!
To her great disappointment Sunday morning the Tooth Fairy had forgotten (and this is not the first time this has happened with our family). What's worse is that the Tooth Fairy was reminded by Charlotte Saturday night before she went to bed. The Tooth Fairy must have gotten so busy or was just so tired from the day's activities that she forgot! I told Charlotte that the Tooth Fairy must have just been too busy to make it to our house last night. So I told her to put it back under her pillow again and hopefully the Tooth Fairy will come tonight (Sunday night).
After she was put in bed I asked Nikki to help with the Tooth Fairy letter that needed to be written to Charlotte. Nikki did the "Dear Charlotte" part with her water color paints and then the Tooth Fairy wrote the rest in marker. Charlotte was very pleased Monday morning when she discovered not only a baggie with 6 quarters in it but also a big envelope with a letter inside. The letter read "Dear Charlotte, I am truly sorry that I didn't make it to your home last Saturday night to collect your newly lost tooth! You must have been so disappointed. Please forgive me and know that I will try my hardest not to let it happen again. Keep on smiling! Tooth Fairy "
Thankfully she was satisfied and happy with the Tooth Fairy and so excited to tell her friends. She was also surprised that the Tooth Fairy knew her name. I told her the Tooth Fairy knows just like Santa Claus and Jesus and Heavenly Father.
