The Tooth Fairy came after all!

Eric's first tooth came out and at first, he was super excited for the Tooth Fairy to come. He even went as far as putting the tooth under his pillow...only to decide at the last minute that he really wanted to keep it. We were so surprised. Scott told him that if he didn't give his tooth to the Tooth Fairy she wouldn't leave him any money and Eric said, "That's OK, I have a bank account anyway. It doesn't matter." (Actually it's a savings account that we just opened for him so he could start saving his allowance. It's all the same to him though - Ha!) Scott and I just looked at each other and laughed. What can you say to that? However we were really bummed out by his decision because the Tooth Fairy is just as much fun for us. :o)

A few days later Scott told Eric that if he wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy and left it with his tooth under his pillow she would probably leave his tooth and maybe a surprise, too. So, that's what he did. He wrote a letter telling the Tooth Fairy he wanted to keep his tooth and put the letter and tooth under his pillow. The next morning, he had a letter from the Tooth Fairy, some money and best of all his tooth was still there. The look on his face was priceless!
