I tried to keep the stitching neat and sturdy but still childlike, as though K had had a hand in it -- not hard since my hand-sewing skills leave a bit to be desired. I wanted to stuff it with wool batting but chose K's favorite bamboo since she's the one who has to sleep on it. I do hope she likes it.
Now. Questions.
- What is the going rate for baby teeth these days? K said something like "maybe a dollar?" but my fairy is just not sure.
- Would a little present be appropriate along with the small amount of money the fairy is likely to leave? Like a new toothbrush, perhaps?
- How on Earth does my fairy get the teensy little tooth out of the pocket without waking the excited child?
Oh my goodness! A tooth! How exciting. I imagine the toothfairy leaves either 50 cents, or a dollar coin these days, and maybe a token tooth-related gift for every-other tooth lost? And I guess we just hope the excitement of losing a tooth is enough to really zonk her out hard so you can sneak in and collect the tooth! Best of luck. Can't wait to see her toothless grin.
