The Tooth Fairy writes with a pen

Ta da! It came out! The tooth came out! I was in class last night and during my break I checked my cell phone and noticed that I had a voice mail from my sister-in-law who was caring for the girls for me. Lo and behold, Emily's tooth came out. After calling to get the details I found out that Emily had had enough of the worrying about this tooth and just got up enough guts to ask her aunt to pull the tooth out. The tooth was more than ready to come out so it was a painless experience for her but not without some anxiety at first. So with tissue in hand, Aunt Amy was the hero and got the tooth out. Now Emily's ready to eat all those hard, crunchy foods that she's stayed away from for nearly a week.

Last night we had her tooth in a glass of salt water sitting on the window sil for the Tooth Fairy to exchange with money and Emily stated to her daddy that she wanted to leave the Tooth Fairy a note. Not a big deal. Emily wrote a note to her telling her that she wanted to see her and that her name was Emily (in case she didn't know). She even drew a heart shaped smiley face complete with teeth that looked like Emily's mouth. I'll scan it and post it fore you to view tomorrow. It's too precious.

So the "Tooth Fairy" replied that she was sorry Emily couldn't see her but that she was excited to see her baby teeth falling out to make room for her big girl teeth and to have fun with it and not be scared. Emily woke up this morning while I was in the shower and came trotting into the bathroom and opened up the shower door so that I could see this repsonse and read it to her. Thankfully she let me finish my shower but before we left for school she observed the note and realized that the repsonse was written in pencil just like Emily's note. I agreed with her and then Emily said, "But I thought the Tooth Fairy's wand turned into a pen?" I think I might have had a deer in the headlights kind of face but quickly tried to play it off with an "oh well" type of response so as not to give myself, errrrrrr I mean the Tooth Fairy away.

Apparantly next time I try to do anything sneaky, I should get all of Emily's input first so I don't screw it up.
