Dancing Fairies

Kennedy's second tooth came out in Texas while visiting.  She seemed to have swallowed it.  Some might write the tooth fairy that night.  Since her dad is in the pooh business, we took turns searching for the tooth.  After enough days went by, we no longer looked.  We forgot about it and didn't write the letter.  That was the second week of August.  Here we are, the end of August.  Last night Kennedy was certain she saw her tooth in her deposit.  I put a blanket around my face and searched one last time.  You are welcome for the details.  You are at least spared pictures or smell.  Lovely!  Ahh, parenthood.  She then remembered we needed to write the tooth fairy a letter and let her know what was going on. 

With the help of her dad, they composed a lengthy note for Tandy (Kennedy's designated tooth fairy):

"Dear Tandy,

I lost my tooth and I couldn't find it.  And then my parents had to look through my poo poo.  I am sorry.  What do you get when you lose a tooth and you can't find it?  Tandy, I am so sad that I lost my tooth.  Can you give me something and wrap it with tiny paper?  Can you come in the day time so I can see you?  Please bring some of your friends?  Please announce your names if you come.  I really want to see you!

Love,
Kennedy

P.S. Can we have a party?

P.P.S.  Can you please bring your mom and dad and instruments and pretty clothes?"

She leaves big expectations for her tooth fairy and many questions.  David finally had to stop her. 

The tooth fairies usually bring two quarters.  Well, Tandy only had a dollar bill.  Now all our kids will swallow their teeth, ha. 

That night Kennedy came to our bed in the middle of the night and commented, "There are fairies dancing on my bed."  I wasn't sure I was awake enough to respond or believe what I just heard.  She crawled in bed for a little while.  David finally took her to her bed after a thorough inspection, she was comfortable sleeping in her bed again.

That morning she received a note and a dollar bill:
"Kennedy,

Thank you for your sweet note.  First, I am so sorry that you lost your tooth!  You didn't say, but it sounds like you swallowed your tooth?  Don't worry.  This happens a lot.  We have a special Tooth Fairy Patrol that works every night to find these teeth in the underground pipes.  I'm sure yours will be found.  I have left you a little gift for being so sweet.  You have a lot of good questions about Tooth Fairies, Kennedy.  Tooth Fairies are magical and we are only allowed to come out at night so we can keep our special magical powers and stay safe.  I have a mom and a dad and so many friends that I wish you could meet.  I will share a secret with you.  Tooth Fairies are allowed to hang out with humans in their dreams.  That means that if you ever have a dream about Tooth Fairies, I will be there and we can have a party.  You can meet my family and friends!  Wouldn't that be fun!  I can show you my home and tell you all about Tooth Fairies.  Okay, be good Kennedy! See you soon.

Love,
Tandy"

She had the dreams before she read the note.  Kennedy was excited about her note and gift.  Oh the adventures we have.  I love how into it David gets too.  He is a great author ;)
