This is the note Whitney left for the tooth fairy after she failed to take the tooth 2 nights in a row. Whitney didn't want us to see her note, but then she left it like this on her bed one morning so I guess it wasn't top secret after all. Notice she has started using the Obama mint tin Kristi left for her after staying in the kids' room last May for her tooth box, I think that's funny.
I had to remind her that sometimes if the tooth comes out after working hours then the tooth fairy's schedule is too full for that night, and sometimes she doesn't work holidays either, hence the delayed pick up.

Comment Window Tidbit: There is no sign of our mouse, I'm beginning to think I imagined the whole thing. Except for the "evidence" in the garage of course, but I set 3 traps out there and haven't caught anything yet. What's going on? Last night my own hair touched my cheek and I about jumped off the couch because I thought it was a mouse!

That is HEE-larious! I had a little overnight guest a few weeks back who was in the midst of losing a tooth. She went to bed and also left a note. DUDE! That tooth fairy has to be SOMETHING ELSE to keep up with all the nocturnal goings on.
As for the mouse traps. Do you have to dispose of the little trap door ones with live little mice in there? Go you!
We've given up on the tooth fairy and just ask them now if they want to keep their tooth or give it to me for a dollar. No boxes, pillows or fairy dust here.
That is too funny! Will the tooth fairy come tonight? I'd say a tooth is worth a few bucks.
The tooth fairy is ALWAYS late at our house... no special box, but sometimes an envelope.
How very funny. Our tooth fairy has had lots of excuses through the years.
Our lost teeth sat in a glass of water on the window sill over the kitchen sink. Not always a good idea. One time we did get a note that said, "Tooth Fairy, you can keep your money because I'd like to keep my tooth." We left the tooth and a discounted rate.
Any mouse yet?
Our tooth fairy very often is late. She leaves cute little notes of apology, usually stating that the weather was bad and she couldn't get through, etc.
Our tooth fairy doesn't leave money either. It's usually a little toy or something that she finds in the Magic Mommy Box from the closet. The Magic Mommy Box is kept for purposes such as lost teeth, or incentives and rewards for other occasions.
That blasted Tooth Fairy once missed picking up a tooth for over a month. Poor kid.
Each of the kiddos have a special little tooth boxes. It's so much easier for the tooth fairy to find the tooth...if she remembers to come. She leaves $1 for the first tooth and 75 cents after that. (There have been traumatic pullings that have resulted in additional payment.)
I really hate mice and everything that goes with ridding your house of them.
That note is hilarious. I'm glad she still believes. My 6 yr old will believe forever but my 4 yr old is already asking me if I'm the tooth fairy and she hasn't even lost any teeth :-(
Tooth fairy gives a dollar at our house. We're old school but my kids have no concept of money so a dollar is still huge to them.
$5 for 1st tooth and $1 for others. If it had to be pulled by dentist then $5. I have not forgotten or been late-- YET! They each have a tooth pillow.
Whitney's note is a keeper for sure!!
Sooo funny! Our tooth fairy messed up once and once the tooth got lost before it got put under the pillow so the tooth fairy got a special note about that :)
Our kids get a $1 for the first tooth and a quarter for each one after...and there is no special envelope or box or anything fancy. :)
we have a special tooth pillow that has a little pocket for the tooth...one time the tooth fairy missed pick up at our house and we blamed in on dad for staying up too late watching T.V. we felt sure that the tooth fairy did not like late night activity and prefers to slip in and out of a quiet house!
once i had to tell spencer that the tooth fairy doesn't work on thursdays. ya, that was my shining motherhood moment. :)
I tell my kids that the tooth fairy has two day, 48 "business" hours...hahaha. As you can see, I've fallen down on my job a couple of times!
The tooth fairy has definitely been late a few times at our house. It's just so easy to forget! I think we gave $1 at first, but now we give $2 or whatever change we have on hand. A bonus for ones extracted by the dentist!
I always thought I would make a special pillow or box or something, but I never have.... I'm just full of good intentions.
Ohh, how I can relate to the missing tooth fairy! I feel so bad when I forget to leave money for my kids. It's funny though, Austin totally knows the secret so I don't even have to fake it with him. But poor Olivia went like 3 days on her last tooth. We made up all kinds of excuses for the tooth fairy. I wish I'd had a holiday to make it more plausible!
We don't have a special tooth box but we really need one. We usually use a ziploc bag.
Our kids get $1 per tooth but if they pull it out themselves (we were trying to bribe Austin to pull out his snaggle tooth) then they get $2.
Hahaha I love that note! I had a tooth box when I was little, and apparently our tooth fairy was incredibly remiss, because one day I was cleaning out my room and came across said box and it had at least four teeth in there. Good grief.
I have absolutely done this...and more than once! $2 a tooth - which I think is a bit steep - but Bob picked the price.
Awe, the tooth fairy! I was really good with the first 3 children but honestly I have pretty much screwed up with the last 2. Let see the last tooth that came out, it took me a month to pay out on it. So by the time I was going give the child some money for that tooth they magically lost another. The word "Pathetic" comes to mind, to sum up my experience as the Tooth Fairy.
Sorry for the late comment, but the tooth fairy issue is universal. Recently my 10 year old daughther lost a tooth and it was taking several days for the tooth fairy to do anything. So I just offered to give her a dollar and we could call it even. She informed me that the tooth fairy must do this job the tradiational way and that a lip gloss would be the prefered payment. The tooth fairy complied.
i can't see this photo either.
but i had forgotten about a few teeth once and AK had written a note apologizing for wanting her to bring something.
Oh, the lies we tell children. I think someone should collect them into book format so we could all laugh together.
