Kathryn lost one of her top front teeth Sunday afternoon. It took her a lot of pulling and twisting to get it out.

Sunday night, the Tooth Fairy forgot.
I told Kat that it was Sunday and since we are not suppose to work on Sunday, that we shouldn't expect the Tooth Fairy to have to work!
~
Monday night, the Tooth Fairy forgot - again!
I woke up this morning with Kat tapping on me, a sad/mad face on. "The Tooth Fairy didn't come. I think she forgot!" Being a sleepy haze, I didn't have any sort of come back to this news. I went over it in my head and just said "Yup, I think she forgot."
(I am a bad mommy!)

Kat had been asking if the Tooth Fairy was real since she started getting that tooth to fall out. I never told her the truth, just kept saying "What do you think?" She never answered my question.
I thought about telling her the truth about the Tooth Fairy. I thought I should be honest. What happens when she questions Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny? I don't want to ruin her childhood. Nor do I want to take away that special, mystical hope that children have.

When we were walking home from school today I told her the truth - "I called the Tooth Fairy today and she said your tooth wasn't scheduled to fall out until today! She didn't forget after all!"
Kat - "Oh! I wasn't on the schedule?"
Me - "Guess not! Told ya not to try so hard to get it out!"
Kat - "So, she didn't forget?!?"
Me - "Nope."

I think she believes me. The Tooth Fairy is real. I think she looks a little different than Kat thinks, but she is real. And sometimes she forgets, unless you are on her schedule! :)
