Rachel loses her 2nd tooth!


Our sweet girl lost her 2nd tooth Sunday night. She was so excited and couldn't wait to go to bed and see what the Tooth Fairy would bring. She put her tooth in a plastic baggie on her nightstand along with a glass of water for the TF to dip her wings in. However, after some rumbling thunder and rain, the TF was afraid to go into Rachel's room too early. And, the Tooth Fairy watched some tv, fell asleep and FORGOT to visit! I cannot even tell you how upset Rachel was when she woke up the next morning to see that the TF had not come. It was really pitiful. She was holding her glass with (clear) water in it and holding her tooth in the baggie. She said, "the tooth fairy didn't bring me nothing." Tears were flowing. I felt terrible!!!!!!! I knew the TF felt terrible as well and had just gotten very busy and totally forgotten to visit. I told Rachel the TF would definitely visit the next night and that I was so sorry the TF had forgotten or been too busy to visit.
So, that day, Rachel decided she would draw a picture and write the TF a note because she wanted to keep the tooth. Thankfully, the TF DID visit the next night, left a whopping $3.00 and an apology note. She also dipped her wings in the water and they were a dark pink/reddish color. Rachel was much happier when she woke up and found her special prize. And, the TF read the note and left her tooth. I hope the TF will do better in the future...it's not fun seeing our little girl so sad.

Angie, I love the tooth fairy story. It just proves we are all human and not one among us doesn't have a story like that to tell. I know Rachel was upset and I can imagine how upset the fairy was too.
