My daughter leaves notes for the tooth fairy too! It’s very sweet.

Wow! I never thought of the other parents. We were told by my daughter that her friend gets charms for a bracelet. I did think that was a beautiful idea to remember each tooth, but then I had a BOY! Now what??? Luckily I was able to backpedal and begin leaving coins/dollars. Changing it up each time leaves a LOT to a childs immagination and I believe they don’t learn to EXPECT anything. Actually, my daughter has started leaving gifts and notes for her Toothfairy because she didn’t feel like anyone ever got the toothfairy a gift. So, although I may have messed up along the way with a gift or two, returned to small coins, she is finding her way to being gracious and thankful in her own way, we have to trust this in our children.

It’s totally possible, jaymonster. (she’s a pretty indulged child though – Ainsley’s always talking about how Victoria gets any toy she wants and what is my problem).

I should have stopped it instead of perpetuating it.

I told Ainsley that the Tooth Fairy only brings a toy once. Then it’s money and she can buy whatever toys she wants with the money (at the $1 Store).

Any chance that Victoria’s Mom got suckered into this as well, and that this is just an ongoing perpetration?

She may have even been suckered and then been apologizing to the world as well.
