Wednesday night after Clifford lost his first tooth, he was excited and anxious to get to bed as soon as he could so the tooth fairy would come visit him. Pete and I ended up putting the boys to bed early that night. Typically when the boys are in bed early, we leave the light on and they can read books until they get sleepy. Clifford, however, made it clear to Kristjan that he could only read one book, then the lights would go off because he wanted the tooth fairy to come now. Also, he made Kristjan sleep with his head at the foot of their bed so the tooth fairy wouldn't have any problems reaching under his pillow for his tooth (they have bunk beds, but Kristjan and Clifford always sleep down below with each other). Clifford also had me write a note to the tooth fairy, letting her know that his tooth was indeed under his pillow for her.
The next morning, Clifford excitedly showed me what the tooth fairy left him: a whole $1!! I asked Clifford if he saw the tooth fairy during the night, since he told us he was going to try to wake up when she came so he could see what she looks like. Clifford said "No, but Kristjan did!" Oh, really?!
Me: Kristjan, you saw the tooth fairy last night?
Kristjan: (eyes get big and excited) Yes!
Me: What did she look like?
Kristjan: (he holds up his thumb and forefinger, barely apart) She was so tiny!! And I saw her make the dollar!!
I just smiled and held in my laugh until I could get away with the phone and call Pete to share this conversation. We had a good laugh at what Kristjan said.
How exciting to have our firstborn lose his first tooth. Wasn't he just a toddler yesterday?! :)
