The Tooth Fairy, on Location

With the past two weeks spent travelling, first to Maui, then to Orange County for Thanksgiving, we have lots to report, but first and foremost, from Joey's world, we have breaking news:

He lost his first tooth in Maui!



The Tooth Fairy ACTUALLY found him and left his money under his pillow in our hotel room!



No sooner did Tooth #1 fall out, than Tooth #2 started to make some noises about following suit.

Tooth #2 could hardly compete with Maui, but it still had some wanderlust... it chose to fall out in a hunk of cantaloupe while we travelled over the Grapevine down to southern California.



The Tooth Fairy, despite repeated warnings from the dentist, was not prepared for working remotely -- and sadly, did not have the special, hand-sewn pillow she had planned on making for the big occasion -- but she improvised. Maui Joey and Grapevine Joey each received a note from the Tooth Fairy, specially designed for their reading abilities, and each were the proud recipient of "100 cents," aka a one dollar bill.


Joey has not returned to school yet to show off his gap and brag about his adventures with the Tooth Fairy, so it remains to be seen whether she was a cheapskate or on par with the national average. She would love some feedback on this important topic!

I've heard some crazy rates for teeth recently, but I thank the Traveling Tooth Fairy for setting an affordable rate, as cousins will likely compare notes.

I think you are on par for the amount. Also heard something fun from my mom. The tooth fairy leaves an american dollar and a coin from another country. Then you talk about how the fairy must have visited x country before she visited Joey and you get to look the country up on a map. Something fun to try...
