'A very, very expensive venture because I now have four kids.'
It seemed like a good idea at the time: A fresh, whopping $20 bill from the tooth fairy for my oldest son’s first lost tooth. I’d been dreaming about motherhood for as long as I could remember, and so finally getting to play tooth fairy was a long-awaited moment. Anything less than a $20 just didn’t accurately represent my excitement for this occasion . And I needed my kid to be blown away . I even went to the bank to ensure I had the crispest bill — then sprinkled it with a little glitter.
Currently, I am $60 in the hole on my first three kids’ first teeth alone. Did you know that each child loses 20 baby teeth?! I honestly thought they only lost the front few. So when my 9-year-old lost a molar I called the dentist because I thought he was going to need dentures! wears off! What was once an excitingly adorable and well-received task now feels like a bad fire drill that I am almost always unprepared for.
