Another week begins and I'm still not back into the swing of term time but meanwhile I'd love your advice. I've really dug myself a big hole - and fallen straight into it! Any tips on how to get myself out?
You see when Amy lost her very first tooth she wrote such a sweet note to the tooth fairy and her little face the next morning was so sad when there was no reply - that's how it began.
A few months later the loss of a second tooth prompted her to write another lovely note and I couldn't bear the thought of her disappointment once more so out came my finest-tipped pen and a tiny slip of paper and a reply was made.
And so it continued. Letters from Amy
and replies from Sparkle, the tooth fairy
Here's a small extract from a correspondance with a fairy:
To Spakle.

love Amy P.S the postcode is cm202da pleese baleeve me!! xxxxxxx
Dearest Amy,
Do not worry, of course I believe you and I will go now and find your tooth. Humans do not know this but teeth give a special ringing sound when they fall out which only us fairies can hear. It is how we know that a tooth needs collecting, so I will find it easily. Thank you for your nice note explaining everything,
your fairy friend Sparkle x
Anyway, I've been caught out! I put the letters from Amy in my underwear drawer along with a little pot containing the teeth and in a nosey moment over the school break she discovered them! I've garbled some fluff about buying them back from the tooth fairy because I wanted to keep them but by her suspicious look she's not buying it! I'm hoping that she'll forgive me when she finally works out the truth!
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when our little ones are involved!
