Last Thursday Ezra lost another tooth. It happened while he was at his friend Jack’s house after school, and he brought it home in a plastic baggie. Then we got busy hustling and bustling through dinner and bed time and totally forgot about putting it under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy. I thought he might be upset in the morning, but he wasn’t at all. He just wrote the Tooth Fairy a letter and made sure it got under his pillow Friday night.
Transcription: Tooth Fary, tell Tootho to look at the Ultra Dragon! It is lokated in the dining room. P.S. It was funny when Tootho left tracks in my room. P.S. 2 I’ve heard that you are friends with the Candy Fary.
So, of course, despite being tired and sick, Bruce (the creative genius in our family) got working on a letter back.
Now is the point where I would put a picture of the Ultra Dragon after Tootho broke off some and then tried to fix it with tape, but I can’t. Ezra read that part of the letter in the morning and ran down to fix it before I was even awake. Then he came upstairs again, laughing, and woke me, saying, “Mommy, you should have seen what Tootho did!”
Needless to say, Ezra (and Finn) loved the drawings of Tootho’s Worm Dragon. Here’s the one the Tooth Fairy drew on the chalkboard in the kitchen.
And here’s my boy showing off his letter.
As a side note, Ezra told Bruce that he didn’t think Tootho actually signed his name because the “h” was going the right direction. He remembered from Tootho’s previous correspondence that the “h” was backwards. Bruce, thinking quickly on his feet, said Tootho must have learned how to write it correctly. Pretty good for pre-7:00 a.m.!
