My eldest girl, B, came up to me last night and showed me one of her front baby teeth that fell out. It's our tradition that the tooth fairy pillow is the beacon for the Tooth Fairy to come. We have used it for all our children and they are so very familiar in what to expect....
Once the pillow is out, the child in 'tooth mourning' leaves precious hand written notes to the Tooth Fairy with wishes for specific candy that all the siblings can share. One standard sweet that is always on the list is Haribo Golden Gummi Bears. This has been Neve's favorite so I'm sure a little bias was planted early on... :-)
They usually get a few treats in lieu of money, mostly because of the fun morning reactions and toothless smiles that brighten the room amongst the innocent interactions and sibling conversations. Sometimes the Tooth Fairy brings a special something that one of the children has so previously longed for. But I suspect tonight it will be simple pleasures for all to enjoy...
