After almost 5 months of wibbling and wobbling, Seb's first tooth came out this afternoon. It was ferociously worked back and forth by his tongue or finger all day. He said he was going to sleep on his side so he wouldn't swallow it. But no need as it came out at home with the help of an apple.
It's a bit strange because there is no gap there, as his second row are looming (and crowding out his mouth...).
Our seven year old is definitely suspicious but oh-so-wants-to-believe in Santa, in tooth fairies, in magic (that benefits him). He asked me if I have put money under his pillow but since he asked in the wrong tense, I dodged it.
He popped the tooth under his pillow and fell asleep surprisingly quickly this evening. Unfortunately, about 60 mins later his sister woke up with a burning thirst and awoke him too. 10 minutes later, he trailed down the stairs in tears. The tooth fairy hadn't come yet....
So what do you think the going rate should be for a first tooth and how long do you keep up the charade???

Hahaha. The wrong tense. I love it.
I think H's first tooth was worth a twoonie. Successive teeth have been a buck. The first is special, don't you know.
in our household the tooth fairy finds a tooth in a shot glass filled with water, sitting on the kitchen window sill. TF puts the money in the shot glass and takes the tooth. The toothless child finds the money the next money. Definitely a twoonie for the first one and a loonie for the subsequent ones. Although I think we gave Davis $5 for the one he broke and had to have pulled by the dentist. Owie guilt goes a long way.
