tooth.treasures

Claire lost her first tooth on Sunday evening. We were celebrating birthdays with Josh's family, and her tooth was extremely loose. It had been loose for several days, but it had become very wiggly over the weekend. It was just barely hanging on, and Josh said, "Just pull it out." And she did.



Instead of the whole tooth fairy deal, I decided to Google alternatives to the tooth fairy. We've come up with "Tooth Treasures". Instead of giving her money or candy or whatever, she gets a special activity that she gets to help plan. We wrote her a nice little letter telling her congrats and that we're excited for her. This time, she gets to have a tea party and plan the menu.



I printed out the little note and attached it to a piece of construction paper. She still put the tooth under her pillow, and she found her tooth treasure when she woke up in the morning. She was pretty excited :) She loves tea parties!
