Otherwise I can see some crazy mom beating me up in the pre-school parking lot because Lily ruined it for little Suzy.Elissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815575185189615176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-10350764074403087032011-07-14T22:50:20.341-05:002011-07-14T22:50:20.341-05:00Oh that is just so funny!

I am a horrible liar so I decided to just out all the pretend people like Santa, tooth fairy, etc. And despite telling my kids NOT to divulge this info under any circumstances to another child, I usually get at least one phone call per year from some horrified parent that MY CHILD told hers that Santa or the tooth Fairy didn't exist.

Lori. She is an adorable Toothless Wonder. ...LOL! Lori. She is an adorable Toothless Wonder. Katie lost her tooth at school this year. She got to bring it home in a little plastic tooth necklace. Her teacher said it was so exciting for everyone and the talk of room 502. Too cute!<br /><br />I have to share with you how I single handedly ruined make believe for all of my children. They were all 5 and under at the time. <br /><br />Leanne asked me how Santa got in the house to deliver the gifts. I told her he fit through the fireplace. I told her he was magic. I told her all of the things I had learned about Santa. Then she asked me "Is Santa like God?" <br /><br />So I said... "Ok. Remember when we went to Disney World and we saw Mickey Mouse and Ariel? Do you remember how we loved seeing them? Remember how we talked to Ariel and pretended that she was real? We all know that was not the real Ariel. Ariel is a cartoon. We know mermaids don't exhist and that it's just make believe. But, we had so much fun pretending that Ariel and all of the other characters were real. That is just how Santa is. He is not really a man who lives with elves at the North Pole. He is part of a magical story that is fun to pretned is real. We love watching Santa movies, seeing him at the mall and baking him cookies. We will still do all of those things. We will just know it is pretend." After all of that my sweet little girl looked me in the eyes, burst into tears and said as she was flopping into her pillow.... "Ariels not real?" The poor thing was heart broken. <br /><br />I am shocked the state still let me adopt them. LOL! Mom of the year for sure:) <br /><br />I am so glad Lucy took the news about TF so well. I think Leanne is scared for life. Each time we put up the Christmas tree or go to Disney she will say "Mom. Do you remember the time you told me Ariel was not real? I still remember that!" Thankfully she always laughs.Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292647623476723002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-64755491858658487562011-07-14T14:16:39.010-05:002011-07-14T14:16:39.010-05:00so funny!

She cannot wait for it to come out...although she already knows that "we" are the tooth fairy. :)Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559175677390596901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-42986840452579267132011-07-14T11:13:17.510-05:002011-07-14T11:13:17.510-05:00So cute!

Second batch - no way - we are starting out explaining the game, but make sure they know that it is just a pretend game with Mom and Dad. They seem to enjoy it just as much - although we don't have any wiggly teeth yet :-( Zabi just visited the dentist this week - her adult teeth are just barely showing up in the x-ray and she is 6.5! Doc says not to worry - but she will have her baby teeth for a long time still.McNew Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422021611439881174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-19266088676044946842011-07-14T11:10:12.270-05:002011-07-14T11:10:12.270-05:00Adorable!

She ended up writing a note to the tooth fairy asking her to please bring the gift tonight and she'd leave the tooth the next night LOL. Yes, I've squirreled the note away for posterity :).<br /><br />-----------------------------------<br />My photography is available for purchase - visit <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/aroundtheisland" rel="nofollow">Around the Island Photography</a> and bring home something beautiful today!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2539365885068711424.post-70264761634628596842011-07-14T10:21:39.619-05:002011-07-14T10:21:39.619-05:00oh my word. lol You guys!

We use ziplock bags... lol no on seems to mistake it for an empty cup that way. We have lost many teeth here, we have been known to wad up foil. And yes, I would say that a dollar a tooth is rather generous, but my kids asked that too. I said HEY! I only got a quarter a tooth!!! Inflation is so not cool.Hezrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345835447459948572noreply@blogger.com
