My five year old son has had four loose teeth for several weeks now. One of them became very loose today and he couldn't leave it alone. My husband was planning on pulling it out this evening when Rhys suddenly realized it wasn't there anymore! He swallowed it with dinner! He was so excited about finally losing a tooth and then started to cry when he realized he had swallowed it. Poor guy. I told him all he needed to do was write a nice letter to the Tooth Fairy explaining he had accidentally swallowed the tooth but would try not to next time. It is precious. I can't wait to get the letter from his pillow and tuck it away.
I asked him how much he thought the Tooth Fairy leaves for teeth and he said $2.01. I don't know where the one cent came from. Must be inflation.
I never got a visit from the Tooth Fairy. I'm glad I get to be her though.
