It must be pretty exciting doing a tooth fairy role, huh? I remember when my Mama said that Tooth Fairy collects milk teeth to give to those toothless children on her fairyland. I thought then, that tooth fairy is the greatest for doing such charity to make every child have the most beautiful smile. And I bet H had the greatest one too, that day.

I’m with you: 2 gold coins sounds perfect. I’ve been “brushing up” (haha) on tooth fairy information since we’ll probably be expecting a visit soon… our 3 year old son will very likely be getting an injured tooth extracted. (By the way, I found this Mom’s Guide to be helpful in dealing with our dental woes.) So as a premature first time tooth fairy I’m going to need all the help I can get! Such a sweet photo of your little man, too. I’m guessing a leaving-the-dentist-crying photo will not be as cute.

Your post took me back to when I was H’s age and terrified of losing my teeth! Is it a girl thing do you think?

I remember my Dad pulling out a tooth once while I stood and yelled my lungs out in front of the sink! I would have kept up with the yelling too, if he hadn’t calmed me down enough to show me the offending tooth in his hand…the one he had plucked out 5 minutes before!

Both my parents smoke (ridiculous amounts when I was a kid), so whenever the “tooth fairy” came, there seemed to be ashes left behind. I always wondered why in the world the tooth fairy would smoke! It can’t be good for your teeth! It all made sense when I figured it out. :)

The family portrait made me smile because my youngest son always made a face or something every single time we got a family picture.

We gave out $1 bills more than 20 years ago, so I’m glad to hear people are still keeping things in perspective. The gold coins were genius! I got a bunch of them as change at the Metro and took them to the bank because I kept mistaking them for quarters.

It’s harder for kids to compare the dollar value of the presents they get at Christmas, but it’s pretty easy to compare getting $1 for a tooth versus getting $20.
