Negotiating With The Tooth Fairy

Cedar lost another tooth tonight and we thought it would be business as usual.  This is tooth #7 to go, so we’ve got a pretty routine down - take a picture of the hole in her mouth, put the tooth under the pillow, wake up and find some money.

Tonight, though, Cedar decided to mix it up a bit.  She wanted to renegotiate the standing agreement with the Tooth Fairy, feeling the standard ‘I take your tooth and give you money’ deal was no longer in her best interest.  She wrote the following letter:

Dear Tooth Fairy,

I would like to keep my tooth.  Please do not take it.

Thanks, Cedar

(I still want the money)

Seriously.

And THEN she told us that because she’s now 6 years old, the tooth fairy should bring her more money than when she was 5.

This is a scary sign - she’s now arguing with creativity and in the second case, REAL logic.  I’m doomed.

Gorgeous Fall Weather In Vancouver!

An odd headline for someone living in Vancouver, where ‘fall’ generally means torrential rain and bone-chilling temperatures.

Yesterday, however, was spectacular.  I took full advantage and went to the beach with Cedar, Dawson, and Sandy and took some great photos…
