The Tooth Fairy

Does anyone in my family recognize this tooth fairy pillow? 
We used it while growing up.  I think my Aunt Margaret made each family one? 
I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. 
This little fairy pillow looked like she was ready to be thrown out, but a couple good washings and I recovered her for my kiddos.  We use it religiously.

Madilyn lost her 5th tooth yesterday!! 
Here she is looking proud with her $1.50 and tooth fairy pillow the morning after the actual tooth fairy REMEMBERED to come!
Here's her space.  Man is she proud. 


 This one she is looking a little drugged, however I needed to capture this because of her blue tooth.  A couple of years ago she jammed this tooth against cement and it was moved back in her mouth.  It didn't look damaged, but as it was slowly getting looser (word?) it became more discolored.  I told her one of her chores today was to get that tooth out!  Looking a little rednecked.


One final pose with the tooth fairy pillow.
Her first chore of the day was to get that blue tooth out.  She did it!!  If you look closely you'll see it in the center of the picture on the countertop.


Her hair doesn't look much better from when she woke up, but she has a bigger, better space in her mouth!



 I had to get this shot because you can see her permanent tooth coming in.  There is so much crowding in this poor little mouth; I don't know what's going to happen with a BIGGER tooth.  However, this is tooth #6 she has lost and she is almost caught up with Parker.  Parker has only lost 8 (and he IS counting)!  Before Ethan died he had lost more teeth than Parker and this was always a concern for Parker.  Now, he's hoping he can stay ahead of Madilyn.  His teeth just don't want to come out (or back in very quickly either).
