Jacob lost his second tooth today at lunch. Actually, I admit to aiding the process and oldest son was rather brave as I tugged the tooth from its bearings. Dave suggested that I save this tooth as the last one is lost somewhere in the house. Hannah reminded me that the other tooth is not lost - the tooth fairy has it. I then reminded her that the tooth fairy had been caused some confusion when she last arrived as Jacob's tooth had been left under Hannah's pillow. Fortunately, for Jacob, the tooth fairy had taken him at his word and left behind her reward despite leaving empty handed. Jacob suggested that I should write a note to the tooth fairy letting her know that I, Jacob's mother, would be keeping this tooth for posterity (my words, not his). He also decided to write his own note in which he would grant the tooth fairy full possession of his third lost tooth and any others that followed. I asked him to fetch me a paper and pencil and he ran off to scavenge for my writing needs. When he arrived back he passed me the utensils with a request:
"Mom, please don't write the letter."
"What do you mean?" I, of the illegible scrawl, queried.
"I don't think the tooth fairy will be able to read it."
I will leave a note with our blog address printed carefully under my son's pillow tonight.

oh man, we have fairies for everything... tooth fairy, paci fairy (takes away pacifiers from 4-year-olds and gives them to babies), dream fairy (gives you "good dreams or no dreams"... i love that)... in fact the girls have a paper on their door that lists all the people who are allowed in their room. it is a hilarious mix of friends, the lady down the street (?), "all dogs except casey", GOD (we think it is hilarious that they are giving God permission), and "all fairies".
we decided not to say anything about the possible double meaning...

I don't remember your penmanship being bad...Lynn on the other hand?!?! Worse than a guys!! ;)
