Dear Tooth Fairy

"I swallowed my tooth while I was eating my breakfast. It got stuck in my toast. I was sad when I swallowed it so Alyssa, can you give me a prize still? I promise next time Alyssa, I won't swallow my tooth. I love you. You are my favorite tooth fairy."

Love,

Sammie

Dear Sammie,
I am sorry you swallowed your tooth. Don't worry, it is okay. You are a very sweet girl. I love your notes to me. Thanks!
I love you too,
Alyssa the tooth fairy.

We wrote that letter to Alyssa in her "tooth fairy notebook" explaining why she didn't have her tooth to put in her pillow. Poor Sammie. That tooth was special. She named it "Joey" after her favorite horse that she rides. She wanted to show it to him. Well, the tooth fairy came and left the note above, another "golden dollar", and sprinkled the usual glitter in her window and on her nightstand. The tooth fairy is going to get her a little tooth fairy doll that will come in the mail. Wink. Wink. By the way, Sammie named the tooth fairy Alyssa which is funny because it is sort of close to her real name. Tee hee hee

Speaking of fairies, we went to Disneyland after kindergarten on Monday and visited Pixie Hollow. She had fun meeting Tinkerbell and posing like her.

In other news, Sammie had her first soccer game of the season on Saturday and scored 2 goals. She scored the first goal of the game. She was beyond thrilled and of course we didn't have batteries in the camera to record that moment. OOPS! There's always next time! What a big difference from last year to now. She is the oldest girl on her team and plays with a great group of kids. She finally "gets it" and goes right after the ball. It is fun to watch her play and see the excitement.

I have been super busy with work. We had back to school night the first week back on top of an already exhausting week of teaching Kindergarten!! It has been an adjustment for Sammie too.
I picked her up from daycare early on Friday and brought her to my classroom. She slept on the floor ( on a blanket) for 2.5 hours!

I came home one afternoon and received a special package from Kristin that totally made my day! Thank you Kristin! She sent me a wonderful box of scrappy goodies including the Fiskars stamp factory, a bunch of acrylic school stamps, Maya Road month tags, chipboard, and even some sweet surprises for Sammie. I met her online and she is a sweetheart! She has a craft blog with awesome challenges so check it out!

Speaking of awesome challenges and awesome craft blogs, check out scrap it forward for this month's fun challenge. It's angelic!
