Well, just a brief note about my kids growing up. Today Goose lost another tooth (#9 I think) so she is in dream land right now waiting for the tooth fairy to bring her some dough. Well, Spiderman has had 3 "wiggly teeth" for a couple of weeks now. I set the stage for him regarding the magical tooth fairy that comes to America and he didn't get much of a chance to believe as the others stated, "we know it's really just Mommy". Now that Goose has beaten him to the punch, he was anxiously wiggling all 3 teeth tonight, convinced his would come out tonight too. He doesn't want to miss out on the payday. It just isn't fair that Goose has a "broken tooth" before him.
The only good thing is that this will set the reality stage for Spiderman. Having heard about the wonderful trade in value on old teeth, he has asked, "Mom, when my wiggly teeth come out, the Lego house under my pillow?" (that would be the $80 set he has seen in Jaybird's Lego catalog, yeah right) Well, we still have to learn the concept of money and value as the tooth fairy around here has a set "$1 per tooth" exchange rate.

A whole dollar?!? I guess that's inflation. We only got a dime.
The tooth fairy here leaves an undetermined amount of change and a book on the topic of teeth or the tooth fairy. No one is really sure who the tooth fairy is, especially after seeing the movie "the Santa Clause."
