While we don't do anything with Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, Malachi saw an episode of a favorite show where the Tooth Fairy brought the main character a tooth brush when he lost his tooth. Before I could say anything to him about it, Malachi was hooked and has talked about getting a visit from the tooth fairy ever since. I don't really enjoy the fact that I'm lying to him about her existence, but it has really created some fun memories these last couple days. I hope he won't hate me too much when he finds out the truth...
We immediately set to work writing the Tooth Fairy a letter since he didn't want her to take it with her since he wanted to save it. He decided to write "Please leave my tooth. Love Malachi".
Showing Sister his tooth...he was so proud!
Great concentration was involved.
Under the pillow it went! We tied to note to the outside with the pouch's ties so the Tooth Fairy could get to it easier. ;)
My toothless wonder! How on earth did he get big enough to start losing teeth?!?
Yo...
I searched for tooth fairy pouches on pinterest and let him choose the one he wanted me to make. He picked out this one and thankfully I had all the supplies on had and was able to whip it out in about 20 minutes. He loves it!
After we were certain he'd fallen asleep, I went it to give him his reward. I was rooting all around under his pillow and couldn't find it and then finally realized he was holding it...so sweet! Thankfully he is a very heavy sleeper so I took it from him, slipped his treat inside and put it back under his pillow. This morning he comes running into my room very irritated, "The Tooth Fairy didn't come!!!" "Why do you think that, Bubs?" "She didn't leave me a toothbrush!" Oy...didn't realized that was the requirement! "Did you look inside your pouch?" "No..." I helped him untie the knot...
What could be inside?
Why, it's a whole dollar and a tooth receipt from the tooth fairy herself! I found a cute tooth receipt rubber stamp online (can't find it now!) and made this digital receipt with Elements to have for our family. He thought it was great!
He exclaimed "A whole money!!!" when he found the bill! Then he asked me if it was enough to buy a Thor figure from Target...sorry Bubs.
His teeny tiny tooth!
Now to your present! Would you like a copy of the Tooth Receipt for your family??
Feel free to click on it and save it for your personal use with ONE catch...would you please leave a little comment congratulating Malachi and saying where you are from? :) With the Olympics going on, he's really getting interested in where things are on a map and I think it would be fun for him to keep track. I made it originally as a 3x4 image, but I'm sure you can print it as large or small as you'd like. Hope you enjoy many fun fairy visits!
