I've got a wobbly tooth announced daughter the younger yesterday. She is so thrilled about it and has been envious of her older sister's tooth fairy visits for a while.
She's a tough cookie though, unlike her sister and there was no wussy, timidity lasting several days/weeks. She was so keen to have her first tooth fairy visit that she got it out the very next day and just had to show the world! you can see the gap on the bottom row.
The tooth is in a little bag under her pillow and, fortunately, I have a reasonable shiny coin to replace it with.... ahhh.... bless....

It's been a while since the tooth fairies came to our house but the little team of winged workers used to leave things other than shiny coins, like the ones that came in my childhood leaving tiny letters in tiny sloping writing remarkably like my fathers. But also unlike in that the modern computer literate fairy used a tiny font which was then decoratively cut around in the shape of a heart, flower, leaf. Sometimes there were pierced boarders to the letters; looked like they were made by sewing with an unthreaded sewing machine.
They also left 'shadows,' colour washed, cut outs, from flower fairy wrapping paper and pasted in quiet corners of a room or behind a curtain, inside a cupboard door. They were sneaky little fairies and we had to look hard for the 'shadows.'
Thought I'd share that one with you as it looks like there are still a few visits to come at your house.
When daughter the elder accidentally lost a tooth down the sink she was devastated. So she got a letter from the tooth fairy! It certainly cheered her up. You really have to make the most of tooth fairy/easter bunny/father christmas while they still believe.
