If they gave a "Cutest Patient" award, MaKenzie would surely have won it this day! I took these a few weeks ago, back on October 1st, when she had her ear tube removal and ear patch done. She's become a pro at being a good patient. She even knows what kinds of snacks the nurses are likely to have on hand and what kinds of activities she can count on them having available to keep her busy. I counted her surgeries, and can you believe she's had more than 10, if my count is correct? Poor baby. I don't know anyone who smiles through it all like she does!
And since we're talking about how cute she is, I might as well add this snaggletoothed shot of her from this morning after she discovered that the Tooth Fairy had somehow managed to NOT forget her! We have a notoriously forgetful Tooth Fairy at our house! Okay, the real truth is that the Tooth Fairy DID forget, then remembered after MaKenzie woke up. The Tooth Fairy's husband was instructed to make a fast move to put something in there while Mrs. Tooth Fairy kept MaKenzie busy and distracted.
My poor kids have taken to coming to me with their newly extracted tooth saying, "Here, Mom, is my tooth. You can just go ahead and give me the money, then you won't have to feel bad tomorrow for forgetting!" Ouch! Even worse, is that they have a friend whose Tooth Fairy puts out $25.00 a tooth. Our lousy, stingy fairy only gives a measly ol' dollar!

So, "Mrs. Tooth Fairy", what would you do if one of the children swallowed the tooth? Do they still get money? Or since the tooth will be flushed...is that all you get for swallowing it, and not letting your mother take it out??
Kelly,
Hand-written letters explaining why the tooth is not present are accepted and honored. Monetary award of letter-under-pillow request is equal to that of regular tooth-under-pillow requests. lol :)
Sincerely,
~Mrs. Tooth Fairy
