Speaking of Falling Out...

The tooth fairy visited our house for the first time this week!  Yep, Sophie lost her first tooth.  Surprisinlgy  enough, she wasn't scare of it coming out and actually wiggled it out on her own.

She requested a gold Sacagawea gold dollar coin from the tooth fairy.  Unfortunately, the falling out happened at night and that particular coin wasn't one the tooth fairy could round up.  But she was able to scrounge up a gold dollar coin with William Henry Harrison on it.  It came from Sophie's piggy bank, but our plan was to secretly exchange that coin with a Sacagawea one the following day, and hopefully, she'd never even realize.  The problem was, at 1 o'clock in the morning when little miss Sophie decided to come into our bedroom to show us the coin the tooth fairy had left, she turned it over and asked me to read the name of the person whose face was on the coin. The second I said, "William Henry Harrison", she responded with, "That's just like the one I have in my piggy bank."  Still not sure why a 5 year old would remember him on the back of a coin she hadn't seen in over a year, but nevertheless, we now had a little problem.  We couldn't just exchange it without her knowing.  So the next day, Lance, I mean the tooth fairy, went and got a Sacagewea gold dollar coin.  We had Sophie put the gold coin she had "received" under her pillow again with a note to the tooth fairy asking if she would exchange coins with her.  She did of course, William Henry went back in her piggy bank and everybody came out a winner!
