TOOTH FAIRY


Jadyn lost her 3rd tooth on the 21st. It was very wiggly & Erik kept begging her to let him pull it out. He hasn't been able to pull out a tooth of either of our girls & he was dying for the chance. She was in bed & came out to tell us her tooth was bugging her. I wiggled it & it was beyond ready to come out. After MUCH cohersion Erik got Jadyn to stand still for him to pull on it. (He actually pulled on it once earlier in the day & it didn't come out.) He told her to let him try it once & if it didn't come out she could go back to bed. She was crying & very nervous. But, one pull later & it came out! Erik was a pretty excited that he got to pull it out! Jadyn was also very happy to have it over with.


It was also a sad day because Jadyn learned that the Tooth Fairy was not real. She kept asking me all day long of the tooth fairy was real or not & I kept telling her to go ask her Dad. It's one thing to let your kids believe in the tooth fairy & another to flat out lie to their faces telling them it's reality. I couldn't do it. Plus, she's too smart & thinks too logically to believe otherwise. Eventually, we told her it was fake. She probably asked 30 times - which to me meant that she was ready. She didn't even care. She just moved on. Then, the next morning when she found her money she asked who gave it to her - me or Dad? It was me! heehee


Now, though, I'm nervous for Christmas. Kylie figured out the tooth fairy & Santa Clause in the same year. I'm afraid Jadyn will do the same. Then, that will mean, I have no more babies in my house. I will just have big kids! Whoa!!

You need to leave a disclaimer on this post...for my kids.
I am a parent that flat out lies to my kids about everything imaginary as far as fairies and big fat men that wear red suits that bring them sugar plum dreams during december.
I am a believer of the imagination! ( :
