The tooth fairy---Again!

Well as the kids put it William has out toothed Natalie! He lost ANOTHER tooth.

As I’ve posted before, he does not sleep with a pillow, and this time he didn’t even take the tooth into his room. He left it at his spot at the counter. Truly I think he forgot about it, the excitement has worn off after the 9th time!

The tooth fairy almost forgot too. I still don’t know what woke her up after she was tucked in for the night and made her get up and take care of it. But she did remember in the middle of the night and William was thrilled with his $.39.

(At the wrestling matches that William has been in there is a LOT of time in between matches. One kid wrestles then has to wait about an hour till his/her next turn this goes on for about 4 hours. A lot of the kids have the little hand held video games, Nintendo DS’s or PSP’s. William has started asking for one and Ed told him maybe. Then Ed looked at how much they cost and we both think the price is crazy for a game to give to a 5 year old! So we told him no he’s not getting one.)

In the morning when William woke up and saw the tooth fairy had been there he was so excited to get his $. He likes the coins the best so the tooth fairy threw in some penny’s to make it feel like more for him. He asked how much he had, so I went over and told him what each coin was worth then counted them with him.

M: A quarter is worth 25, a dime is worth 10, so that is 35 cents, now count the pennies
W: 35 + 1+1+1+1=39. Wow 39 cents—that’s a lot!
M: You think so? That’s good
W: Yea! What can I buy with it? A Nintendo DS?
M: No honey sorry, you can’t buy a Nintendo DS with 39 Cents.
W: Oh man!

I’m kind of glad his friends aren’t loosing a lot of teeth right now. I hear some tooth fairies are up to $5 and $10. I think if William heard that, he would hide the tooth and insist on a sleep over, take the tooth with him and collect his $ from the friends tooth fairy!
