Yesterday my big boy lost his first tooth. I was so excited for him I instantly took a photo posted it on instagram then called Michael and my mum. I really was that excited!
So last night we put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. I planned to sneak in his room before bed and swap his tooth for some shiny coins but Will woke up before I had gone to bed and I ended up going to bed with a feeding cranky baby and completely forgot about putting on my tooth fairy wings. 5am I woke up in a sweat, tooth fairy still hadn't been! Close call considering Charlie is up at 6am. I snuck in did the deed and snuck out. The boy didn't even stir. Success!
Now because I am new to this I don't really know what to do next. Do I keep the tooth ? (That seems kinda gross) Does it go in the bin? How much does the tooth fairy bring? I gave him $2, I've no idea what the going rate actually is. Parenthood really does throw new things at you all the time.
This Tooth Fairy job is hard! What's your tips for a new tooth fairy?
Keep it!!! Put it in a little bag with his first hair cut etc. I reckon $2 is HEAPs for a kid - maybe$2 a normal tooth and $5 for molars?
ReplyDeleteI say keep it - but I am a hoarder, so... you know I guess take that into account too.
DeleteHehehe I'm a hoarder as well Tab especially when it comes to kids stuff. I've kept it for now now idea what to do really! If I'm going to keep it I guess it needs to go into something (a box,jar etc) jst not sure what.
DeleteWe haven't lost the first tooth yet, so I'm not sure how we're going to go. I'm thinking I'll throw it, we have enough stuff in the house as it is.
ReplyDeleteUgh I'm so with you. How do small people accumulate so much stuff!
DeleteI have it in my cupboard. Dont know if i can bring myself to throw it out. Maybe the 2nd tooth? ; )
Yay! Big moment. Glad to share in it.
ReplyDeleteBig moment! Thanks lovely. Pretty exciting times around here : )
DeleteGosh, I have never ever thought of this before! I think I might keep Lior's first one and put it in a little bag in his scrapbook (not sure if we'll really do the the 'tooth fairy' thing...). As for the others, I think they can probably just go in the bin... decisions, decisions!
