So I am the worst tooth fairy ever. Why? I forgot.

Jax came into the room at 5:30 AM. "Mom, the tooth fairy never came."

"(Oh CRA....pple!!!) I wonder why, hmmmm. Go back to bed it's still dark maybe she hasn't had a chance yet. She might have a lot of teeth to pick up."

"OK."

I, frantically, looked all over the house for $1. Nothing. All I had was $5. Jax comes into my room, and tells me he can't sleep because I am making too much noise (dang it). He then goes downstairs and turns on his Saturday morning cartoons.

I thought to myself what a perfect opportunity to sneak into his room and switch it out.

I go into his room, lift the pillow and the tooth isn't there. I went ahead and wrote him a little "sorry I was late" note with the $5 and left it under his pillow. I was then on the hunt for the tooth. FOUND IT! (CRA...PPLE) It was sitting next to him on the couch. I went over and sat on it. I distracted him a little and then suggested he go get his pillow, upstairs. He went up to his room while I hid the tooth. Jax comes downstairs with nothing other then his pillow.

ME: "So did the tooth fairy leave anything under your pillow yet."
JAX: "No my tooth isn't even under my pillow."
ME: "Really? Where is it?"
JAX: "Your sitting on it."
ME: "I am?" standing up
JAX: "I think it's stuck to your fanny."
ME: turning around, "NOPE."
JAX: "Great mom, now it's lost." (looking for the tooth)
ME: "That is weird. Hmmmm. Maybe you should go check your bed again."

(up the stairs he went)

JAX: "Mom, the tooth fairy left me $5 and a note. I thought you said the tooth fairy only gave out $1."
ME: "I think she gives out $5 for your first tooth, but I AM SURE next time it will only be $1"

So I guess this is our new tradition, $5 for the first tooth and $1 for each tooth after that.
