The Tooth Fairy

As all parents know there is a procedure that must be followed when a child starts to get a wobbly tooth. This procedure we have had to perform over the years, in actual fact most recently two days ago. It always starts with Tom discovering he has a wobbly tooth. Then there is a bit of wobbling, well a lot of gentle tooth wobbling until the tooth comes away. It can be really funny watching Tom roll around trying to gentle but so desperate to get it out.

When it does finally come out children get so excited and want to show everyone the tooth and the gap. I love his and all children's enthusiasm for something that if it happened to an adult would be a tragedy. The fact is, to a child it is one step closer to getting a new tooth and to some degree growing up. So the tooth is out and we plan what happens next.

Some children put it under their pillow for the tooth fairy. We have a special tooth fairy pouch that hangs on the door. This makes it a bit easier to remove the tooth and replace it with a financial reward. I cannot believe the going rate for a tooth is £2 per tooth from the tooth fairy. It was only 10p when I was kid. In the morning Tom woke and immediately investigated the pouch for his reward. Sometimes we may include a note as well. He is so chuffed when he finds something there.

These events are special moments that you cannot buy. These special moments make you realise what true love is. Happy days.......
