tooth fairy
Lillie lost a tooth yesterday. Today she lost something more.
I forgot to put the money under her pillow last night. When I realized it this morning, I tried to distract her with something while I went to exchange the tooth for a dollar bill. She caught me.
She asked why I was doing it, and I was honest with her. When she realized that there was no tooth fairy, she cried hard. I was a little surprised because she had asked some suspicious questions about Santa this year and I thought she was close to figuring out these games that parents play. But, she had completely believed in the tooth fairy.
She talked with David about it for a bit and then, easily, moved on.
