I need to leave for Sioux Falls in a few minutes but I couldn't resist sharing this story before I forgot. My little friend JJ is staying with us for 5 days while his parents take care of some job/moving things in Oregon. His mom brought him over last night before bedtime so she could tuck him in. Before she left, she whispered to me that he had lost his first tooth yesterday and she brought a dollar for me to put under his pillow. BTW she is SUCH a good mom! No tooth fairy fail for her :)
I have a special place in my heart for JJ because he has much of the same background as Riley. He was also one of my headstart kids. My friends Kim & Ryan started their family with two bio girls, have adopted another little girl and will be finalizing adoption of JJ and his two sisters July 1st.
So this morning, imagine my suprise when JJ looks under his pillow and pulls out the dollar and a couple dollars in quarters! I look over at Riley and give him a big high five. He has such a tender heart. Riley wanted to make sure the tooth fairy left something. After JJ told him last night that he had lost a tooth, Riley used his own money and left it under JJ's pillow!!!
Although my many tooth fairy fails may have had something to do with it, too! ;)
