Since Maddie was very small, we would give her an envelope when she lost a tooth and let her write a message to the Tooth Fairy on it and place the tooth inside. When she was young she had questions and requests for the TF (please write me back!), but now that she is older and in the know, things are a bit different...
In case you can't read it easily, it says:
Fairly large tooth. Mild roots. Unbrushed (lingering morning breath). Poor child was sick when she yanked it. Very painful. $3.01
Yes, she sent us a bill for the tooth. Although I have to say that I found her message so hilarious that I pad the fee for the comedic value alone.
That is tooo cute. Man..inflation is really bad. I use to get the 25 cent thing and a 1.00 if large tooth. You need to frame that. Can I use the envelope to put it to my friends on facebook? I think its really cute.

Love it - you HAVE to keep that for her - she'll appreciate it when she's a mother herself!

That is so cute!! We once lost our daughter's tooth that was supposed to go in the envelope for the tooth fairy. We replaced it with a rabbit food pellet, which sort of felt like a tooth. The problem....we fell asleep before replacing it with money. The poor child was traumatized. She is now 44 and laughs when we tell her the story. Save that note. So precious.
