The tooth fairy's first visit

Our very first visit of a tooth fairy to the MacDonald household came with mixed emotions.  Hailey had shark teeth!  Her permanent teeth started growing in behind her baby teeth.  We first noticed it about two months ago and at that point there was the slightest of slight wiggle in her baby teeth...well they weren't budging and the adult teeth were now just about as high as her baby teeth line.  After a few jumping through hoops with the various military dentists in this area, we got an appt for her in the morning before school.  I took the circus back into the room and the dentist agreed that, yes, they needed to be pulled.  We all went back to the waiting room and they called Hailey back by herself to numb her and then she came back to the waiting room and then they called her back by herself to pull them!  She was a trooper and did wonderful!!!  The same thing happened to me as a kid (1 out of 10 kids!), so I think talking about it for so long put Hailey at ease PLUS the fact that the tooth fairy would be coming made it bareable!  I gave her the option of staying home from school but of course, she wanted to go and share her story right away! 

Hailey thought it'd be a great idea to put her toothbox into a baggie and tape it to the side of her bunk bed just in case it fell down at the head of her bed into what we call the black hole!  (There is a box spring stored under their bed which makes it near impossible to reach anything that has fallen)  Good thing she came up with that idea herself or it might have been hard for the tooth fairy to quietly sneak into her room! 

The tooth fairy, so thoughtfully, decided to put her money into the tin and in the baggie also as to not have a travesty first thing in the morning if the tin had fallen into the black hole!  She left Hailey the tiniest little note saying how brave she was and that she gave her a little extra money because she had to have them pulled and because they were her first teeth and because they were so clean and shiny!  I should also add that she was an European tooth fairy and left her 5 euro per tooth!    (Hailey also searched every inch of her room for a trace of pixie dust, but that tooth fairy was way too clean...bummer!)  

And a funny tidbit...I asked Leevi what he thought the going rate was for a pulled tooth and he replied $100!  I said, WHAT??!!! but I was talking about a tooth fairy pay out and he was talking about your bill at the dentist!
