The tooth fairy visited our house last night. Karly woke up to find that her treasure box and tooth had been replaced by $5. Now, mind you the tooth fairy does not leave $5 for every tooth, only the first one because it is special. This actually started when Kinsley lost her first tooth just before bed one night and all I had on me was $5 or hand fulls of change. When Karly discovered her tooth was gone, she got mad and said she didn't want the money, she wanted her tooth back. She told Kinsley could she have the money, to which Kinsley promptly snatched up, and ordered me to tell the tooth fairy to bring her tooth back tonight. Karly was adamant throughout the rest of the morning that she didn't want or need the money and really just wanted her tooth back. I'm not sure yet how the tooth fairy is going to handle this one. Any suggestions?
On a side note, just this past weekend, I found Kinsley's first tooth in a plastic baggy that I had saved. I tend to be the mom that saves EVERYTHING... but looking at this tooth in a plastic bag, I wondered, is that something that people actually save? I mean really, when my children get older, are they going to want a 20 year old baby tooth? I don't believe that my mom saved my tooth, or if she did, she hasn't yet given it to me yet. My tendency is to think that if she did, I'd probably wrinkle my nose at it, say oh that's nice and then likely throw it away. I'd like to hear what others have to say about this. Where do we draw the line at what and how much we save for our children and will they really care that we did save these things?

Yay for Karly! I'm sure my little Peach will be antsy to lose a tooth now that a friend her age has lost one. Also, we found one of my baby teeth in a cabinet when we moved back into this house. I appreciated the sentimentality, but still thought it was gross and threw it away. :)
