What the Tooth Fairy brought

People have been asking me like crazy what Addie received from the Tooth Fairy. Well, Addie's Tooth Fairy is pretty cool, especially compared to the one who used to visit Brian, as I'm told. Brian used to receive a Ziploc bag full of random change. Addie received a letter from the Tooth Fairy explaining that losing her first tooth is quite a big deal and that she deserves something for an older girl now. She also received a dollar and a little kangaroo (read on).

The deal was that Addie had to go to bed in her own room (which is an issue). If she woke up in the middle of the night and her tooth was still under her pillow, she had to go back to sleep. If the Tooth Fairy had come, then she could come into our room.

In the middle of the night, she woke up and came into our room saying "There's nothing under my pillow." I took her back in her room and we looked under her pillow to discover the note, the dollar and the kangaroo. I suggest putting it aside until the morning to be able to see what she got. Addie agreed and then explained that she already knew what she got. She said, "a message, some money and a kangaroo rattle." When I said, "a kangaroo rattle? Why would the Tooth Fairy give you a kangaroo rattle?" "I have no idea."

So it turns out in the morning that Addie looked at her kangaroo and realized it was a box that opened up to reveal a kangaroo necklace! She's had it on non-stop since then.

When looking in her mouth, we can now see the new tooth coming through her gum, and we can see the tip top of the adult tooth directly next to the one that just came out, so that means that the second tooth can't be far from falling out too!
