Is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, my two front teeth.

Why is it every kid manages to lose them right around this time? Just in time to stick this little ditty firmly in your head, on repeat?

And so, the day before Christmas, Ben’s smile changed to this.

Which meant the tooth fairy was busy again.

This time she miraculously knew that Ben has been reading simple words and made the hunt for money accordingly.

Just in case, she very nicely put the picture of the word on the back. But Ben didn’t need it. He had no trouble sounding our words like “bus”, “bed”, “tub” and “mat”.

Bus Clue. We have about 5 school buses in our house so that made the hunt a bit more complicated.

Where is that clue? (It’s right in front of them, taped to the side of the bed)

They walked right by the clue a few times, but finally found it.

“Map”

The whole gang is now searching for clues (this was for “tub”)

Finally they figured out the tooth fairy hid the money OUTSIDE the house under the front “mat”.
