Haggling with fairies

Follow up story on losing teeth.  Little One finally decided to put a tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy last week.  I placed a fiver under her bed and she got a pen from her mom.  Normally, I wouldn't give so much, but since there were two teeth and they were the first two, I thought it would be okay to be a little extragavant.  My mistake.

Later in the week she lost a third tooth, this time in the bottom row.  So now she has that classic gaping smile.  It's very cute.  As it happens, she lost the tooth at the B&G club.  She was bummed about that, but I suggested we could either write the tooth fairy a note about that or we could "make" a tooth out of paper and put that under the pillow.  This made her happy. 

In the end, she put one of the other teeth she had lost under the pillow (she had requested the tooth fairy not actually take the teeth, so we didn't).  This time I put 2 bucks under her pillow.  And guess what?  She was disappointed that it was only two bucks.  She figured a tooth is worth more than that.  Unfortunately, we didn't have time this morning to explain to her the rationale for $2 for the third tooth vs. $5 for the first two teeth.   In any case, she decided she'd rather have her tooth back (this time we did take the tooth) than the $2, so she wrote a note to the tooth fairy saying she'd trade the $2 for her tooth.  It was very funny and very cute.
