Today we had the tooth fairy come to visit our kindergarten classrooms. The entire day there was a buzz in the air about our "Friday Friend" and who he/she might be. When we walked into the room where our guest was waiting the kids were beaming.
Was it Cinderella? Was it a Princess?
When she announced that she was indeed the Tooth Fairy the questions started pouring out:
Do you still have my tooth?
Why did you give her a dollar and me a quarter?
Do you remember my name?
What do you do with all the teeth that you collect?
Did you go to college to become a tooth fairy?
Can you show us how to fly?
Now...if I was the Tooth Fairy, I would be stressed. All these questions and all these little eyes waiting for you to remember them. But she passed with flying colors. She turned up her smile and on her magic wand and she was quickly talking about keeping healthy teeth, going to the dentist, and handing out tooth care goodies.
Hopefully this Friday Friend brought in some new healthy habits, as well as firm believers that the Tooth Fairy really does exist.
