Banana the tooth fairy

This post is not going to land us the parent of the year award but it is too sweet not to capture for memories.

Carrot lost one of her front teeth yesterday after school.  She is no longer a tooth fairy believer in fact when Jeff got home last night she showed him her missing tooth and said, "Dad you have money right?".

The tooth was placed into my old tooth pillow that my mom made for me when I was little and was waiting to be filled as we tucked them into bed.

It had to wait for a long time because this morning when Jeff and I got home from the gym and normally only the big boys are up and getting ready for school we saw the light to Carrot and Banana's room on.  We walked in and Carrot yelled, "I got 5 dollars!"

I looked and Jeff and whispered, "You gave her 5 dollars for one tooth".  Jeff had a puzzeled look on his face and then we saw Banana winking at us.

Jeff had fallen asleep and never put any money in her pillow and Banana having had the ~Mom and Dad forgot to give me money in the past ~ put money in for us. 

The story played out that they were awake and Carrot saw her tooth had fallen to the floor and was wondering what happened.  Banana told her why don't you go down stairs and see if mom is there and while she did he took some money out of his piggy bank and slipped it into her pillow.

I love these kids!
