Tooth Fairy

Here's the note Ellie wanted to write to the Tooth Fairy to leave under her pillow. She dictated it to me and I wrote it down. She was so excited for nighttime to leave it under her pillow.



Even though I have an inner queasiness about all of these mythical creatures kids grow up with, I have been embracing Ellie's belief in the Tooth Fairy. So I wrote this note and put it under her pillow. (Click on the letter to see the words.)



See that? Very sweet and very practical. Keep on brushin! Did I want to write a subversive note from the Tooth Fairy? Yes, I did. But I was a very, very good mommy.

I think Ellie is a very fortunate girl to have such a creative mommy.
(And, of course, a funny daddy!)
Congratulations on having found a renter so you can move back to Chicago in time for winter!
And we'll get to see you in early November.

What a sweet little one to hope the Tooth Fairy is having a satisfying career. The advice to keep brushing is certainly wise.
Good luck to all concerned.
