And because I now had a mini envelope, I needed a mini letter to go inside, so I created this little personalized one which fit perfectly. She has a few options to choose from OR you can use them all, but because I was so drawn to that miniature envelope, I decided to use that as the envelope the tooth fairy left behind. I LOVE anything in miniature form, so this was an instant yes. That night I found the CUTEST mini envelope printable from Handmade Charlotte that I just couldn’t resist. So, I asked if she would let me take it out as I didn’t want to miss the moment while she was at school, and she surprisingly said yes! She closed her eyes, opened her mouth and with one little pull it was out, and she was wide-eyed and ecstatic.Īfter this, Gwyn informed me that the tooth fairy leaves a gold coin in place of the tooth, and not knowing where she got this from I tried convincing her otherwise, but she was pretty certain of it so I went to the bank and to my complete surprise they had gold dollar coins! Noted! She went to bed that night with it still in her mouth, barely hanging on, and I was so thankful to see it still in her mouth the next morning and not in her tummy. If you’re in need of a little tooth pillow as well, check THESE out, they’re super cute! That evening I found a local lady who could whip me up a little tooth fairy pillow and have it ready by the next morning. She worked that tooth for about four hours touching it and feeling it with her tongue and by night it was ready to fall out.Īnd I was NOT ready for the tooth fairy so I encouraged her to “WAIT!” So, I then thought I would have a week or two before the actual tooth fell out… She has wanted a loose tooth for about a year now after seeing her cousin’s missing teeth, so to have it finally happen to her couldn’t have made her happier.īut I will say I was NOT expecting this to happen already! She is four! And I don’t know why I had it in my head that children don’t lose teeth until like… seven, but that is definitely not the case.

This pen pal scenario will help with reading and writing skills, too.A few days ago our little Gwyn came running up to me in utter excitement as she shoved her face in mine showing me her new wiggly loose tooth.
