Great story, my five year old will be going through this soon, so I will keep some cash on hand.

Of course, my mom, not wanting to be woken up late...came in and gave me a dollar, having anticipated my bungle!

What a great story and what a good dad you are! Coming up with and being convincing about drawing the picture, a piece of parent-magic. I am a grandma, far from the tikes, so all of this is behind me. I have to tell you though, being someone's mother was the best thing in life.

Great story and idea for handling the missing tooth. Recently went through it with my 5-year old granddaughter who experienced losing teeth the hard way. Fell on a slide and knocked out her tooth. Blood, scream, cries and a hospital trip all about a month n the past now, she is doing fine, as are her parents.
A very fun experience was explaining the tooth fairy process to her and magic that she possessed. You can truly feel the magic in the eyes of your child hearing it for the first time, and the next morning when she runs to you excited with the dollar she finds under her pillow.
Same thing happened to our 5yo when she was brushing her teeth. Since this was her first tooth, Daddy tore the sink apart and sifted through some pretty filthy pipe water - all to no avail.
She drew a picture of the tooth and we crafted a short note for the Tooth Fairy to put in her little purple, satin tooth pillow and placed it carefully under her big pillow.
Fortunately, in the morning, she was rewarded with a $1 Presidential coin (http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/) and we were rewarded with a plumber bill! Worth every penny.
