"Mom.....you know that loose tooth I had????? It fell OUT!!!"
OMG he was excited! He was feeling sorry for Connor (babysitters 5 year old) cause he was upset his teeth weren't falling too. So Carter told me he wanted to give his next tooth to Connor so he could "get money too".
I had no clue what the going rate for a tooth was these days so I asked the question on a parenting website I visit (http://www.linkingparents.com/) and boy the tooth fairy is very generous is some families! Some said as high as $50 for the 1st tooth, some said $10 to $20 for the 1st tooth, some said $2-5. Well, the cheapos we are we left a twoonie and he has never been happier! He was so excited he couldn't wait to put it in the piggy bank.
We leave for holidays on Friday and I am exhausted from being up too late every night getting ready, making lists, and thinking about too many details. It is a lot of work to get ready to relax!

Congrats big boy!!!!
Ours get a toonie too :) And they are more than happy with it :) and sometimes I put 8 quarters instead - for some reason they get more excited because it looks like so much more :)
Congratulations on that first gap!!! :)
Way to go carter!
I used to love pulling out my teeth!
Insist on $50 next time!
