The tooth fairy made a visit... to our trailer

Nothing like breaking mom in all at once. Not only did I have to send my baby off to kindergarten but then just a few days later, she's loosing her first tooth!!!
She told me about her loose tooth a few weeks ago and for the last week it has just been hanging on by a thread. She was constantly wiggling it and finally on Saturday morning it fell out!!! We were camping but the tooth fairy found us anyways (amazing how that happens!)
me: "what do you think the tooth fairy is going to leave you?"
Katie: "3"
me: "3 what?"
Katie: "3 pennies"
me: (thinking: that would be easy enough!)
"hmmm don't you think your first tooth is worth a little more than that?"
Katie: "yes! How about she brings me a pony"
me: "I don't think ponies would be a good thing to wake up to, under your pillow"
Katie: "well... I guess she can just bring me a hundred, thousand, million dollars then"
me: (thinking... I should have stopped at 3 pennies)
"I guess we will have to wait and see"

Good thing she was happy with a new tooth brush, a letter reminding her to brush her teeth every day and just 3 dollars!

Carter wants his teeth to fall out so bad, so he can have a visit from the tooth fairy! That was so thoughtful of the tooth fairy to leave a letter, very good idea!

I like that she jumped from 3 pennies to a pony!

Wow, you have a good paying tooth fairy! That's exciting for Katie. Laurel comes to me often and tells me to feel her loose tooth, however they never are quite as loose as she'd like them to be.
