DOH!!

So, as a parent, I consider myself decent. Not all encompassing brilliant, but decent. Except when it comes to being the tooth fairy. I completely suck as the tooth fairy. Sawyer lost a tooth yesterday, was so excited singing the "I am going to get a dollar song" put his tooth under his pillow and went to sleep in Tanner's room. I was just so happy that the boys were asleep last night, that I totally spaced him losing a tooth. So this morning, he gets up and says, the tooth fairy didn't come. Holy crap, mental head slap, I forgot!! So Chad tells me to look around with Sawyer as he does damage control. He slips a dollar under his pillow upstairs and tells Sawyer to go look in his room because he thinks the tooth fairy might have been confused because he did not sleep in his bed last night. So, Sawyer goes upstairs and checks. The happy dollar song follows and all is right with the world. The last time Tanner lost a tooth, I just handed him a dollar & he just laughed because he knew I would forget to put it under his pillow.

That is awesome!! Katelyn lost two teeth yesterday and I am very surprised that I remembered. Derek wasn't here to remind me but we have forgotten a couple of times and once we even had to tell them that the tooth fairy was too busy so try again the next night!! WE're bad!

I'm glad mine don't know about the tooth fairy!!! Or the Easter bunny, of Santa...oh, but they DO know about the Great Pumpkin and how he comes to visit us when all the other kids are out begging for candy!!

One time the tooth fairy wrote an apology letter saying thay she was on overload with all the kindergarteners but that she didn't forget, just really busy. Actually she's written two..... double doh!!

That is hilarious! We did the same thing a while ago and forgot two nights in a row. I think Alec was ready to give up.

We are eagerly awaiting Pookie's loose tooth. Every day we check it to see if it is any looser than the day before. Late bloomers here.

P.S. Quick thinking on Chad's behalf. Way to go!
