Hooray! This boy has been waiting, and WAITING to have his own visit from the toothfairy. Watching Ada lose four teeth in a matter of months was almost too much for him to bear. I've never seen a kid so excited to go to bed, carefully placing his tooth under the pillow.Unfortunately for him, the toothfairy has a tendency to be a flake.
I'm not sure if it was because it was Sunday, or because the toothfairy was starting a new job early in the morning...but she completely forgot. Completely. And this was not the kid to forget about.
I go to bed. Next thing I know Jackie's at my bedside, like every morning. Except now, he is sleepy and sad, mumbling something about his tooth. Slumps back to his room. I'm still clueless, so Sam helps to refresh my memory.
I felt so terrible! My mind is racing to think of some kind of excuse or solution. Nothing. I sit up. I notice the time...It's 3am.
Redemption!
I go to his room, Jack's tooth has been flung as a result of his eagerness to see how his trade with the fairy paid off...so we hunt around (it's the tiniest tooth I ever saw). We finally find it. I told him the night's not over, not to worry, yadda, yadda...and he went back to sleep.
The toothfairy came. At precisely 3:37am. He woke a happy boy. (Phew!)
It's probably silly thing to do, but I did say a little prayer of thanks...I'd hate to let that sweet boy down.
