Missing Tooth...No.2

The Tooth Fairy takes baby teeth, because big teeth are too heavy to carry.
Once I have all my grown-up teeth, can I stay up late??
Nolan lost his second tooth today. He has been wiggling this one with his tongue for awhile now, and has anxiously been waiting for it to fall out. He actually ran into a wall tonight...ouch!!! Takes after me in the clumsy department that's for sure, but that is a whole different story. It wasn't long after his head-on, or should I say tooth-on collision, that it came out. He was pretty excited about it. So excited in fact, that he couldn't get to sleep. He called me into his room close to a half a dozen times with instructions about his tooth. Put it here... place it there...no, not there, it could get lost! What if the Tooth Fairy doesn't see it? Will she keep this one? On and on it went...until we told him that the Tooth Fairy is going to be off duty if he doesn't fall asleep before midnight! I decided to try the whole turn into a pumpkin at midnight trick w/the Tooth Fairy...and luckily, it worked. He woke up early (of course) to see how it all turned out. To his surprise, his tooth was still there (just like he wished) and money was under his pillow. Thankfully, he was able to return to the Land of Dreams, because believe me....... that Tooth Fairy needed a little more beauty sleep! ;)
P.S. Nolan once again split his money with his sister. They both placed their half of the profit into their piggy banks. Priceless!
