period over the summer, she lost three teeth! This time
it was only one, but I just figured that was because she
didn't have any baby teeth left!
So, as tradition dictates , we got ready for bed, and I said,
"Did you put your tooth under your pillow for the Tooth Fairy?"
"No, I put it in my sock and left it on my desk there." "You put
it in your SOCK? Why?" "Well, I was afraid it would get lost in
my bed and the tooth fairy wouldn't be able to find it." I thought
about this, and smiled and said, "Hmm...I'm not sure Aiden's uncle
will think to look in your sock, and if he does, I doubt he will want
to stick his hand in a sock you've been wearing all day." Then, very
confidantly she said, "Oh no, Mom, Aiden's uncle is the Easter Bunny,
not the tooth fairy." Completely caught off guard, I looked up from
taking the tooth out of her sock and laughed, "The Easter Bunny?"
Then I hear Niko chime in from his room, "It's true Mom! Aiden saw
him so he knows." I smiled again, suddenly remembering this revelation
they had told me a few years back more clearly now. I thought about it,
then I very carefully pushed the tooth back in the sock. "Well, in that case,
we'll leave it right here, and I'm sure whoever the true tooth fairy really is
will surely find it, and he will be very grateful that you took the time to
leave it so easy for him to find! Stinky sock or not, I'm sure he will leave
you a reward". Whether it was Aiden's uncle or someone else, I don't
think it really mattered in the end. The important thing was, the next
morning Daddy and I were greeted by a this big, beautiful, satisfied
toothless grin, and it made our day!
