This poor gal has had the misfortune to have lost a total of three teeth in the last month. If you’ll recall, this hasn’t been one of the easiest months of the Dunham household, so the tooth fairy, shall we say, has been a bit on the MIA side of things.
The only saving grace we have here is that, like Santa, our kids are in on the whole “tooth fairy” thing and play along, knowing full well that it’s us. The bad side of that, though, is that when the tooth fairy forgets, well, everyone knows whose fault it is: mine.
K6 has been wiggling this last front tooth for the past two weeks. It finally came out today. She glanced in my direction and I solemnly swore I would not forget this time. Tooth Fairy Mama’s honor.
I just went up and slid the expected dollar under the pillow with a note. Tomorrow she shall not be disappointed.
One out of three isn’t so bad, right?

Well I have also forgotten a time or two on Tooth Fairy Duty…but like your children – the kids know it’s me – so they remind me and I try to remember the next night.
