Slacking on the Job

   It's been three days since my oldest son lost yet another tooth (number seven in the last several months). Now in my credit, he didn't even tell me about loosing his tooth the first day. He lost the tooth at school and they gave him a little treasure box to put his tooth in. He put it under his pillow and didn't even say anything to me. I just happened to notice the little treasure box last night when I was tucking him in and I asked him about it. He complained that the tooth fairy didn't come the night before (so I made a mental note to remember). However, after cleaning house and settling down for the night I completely forgot. Today is the third night since he lost his tooth. This evening he made sure to open the treasure box and put the tooth under the pillow by itself so the tooth fairy would have easy access. Luckily I remembered to tell the tooth fairy to make a stop in his room after he was asleep. Oh the joys of motherhood. It doesn't matter how tired you are, somethings just make me smile and are worth it!
