Are they real?

At Christmas Josie was asking if Santa was real. She was hearing things at school and didn't know what to believe. In the end she still wanted to believe what was in her heart. 

Yesterday she lost a tooth and started questioning the Tooth Fairy. I told her that it was like Santa- she should believe what was in her heart. Before bed she set out her tooth and made a little fort to protect it from the kitty. (Imagine me, I mean the Tooth Fairy, crawling around in the dark looking for a stupid little tooth!)

The Tooth Fairy was tired after a long day of spring cleaning and tried to make her visit at 10:30 last night. Imagine my, I mean her surprise when Josie opened her eyes. A quick coverup story about wanting to bring kitty to my bed seemed to work (mostly because I do actually try to steal the cat every night). 

An alarm set for 1:30 am seemed to do the trick. Josie woke up excited to find a gold coin and I woke up no more tired than normal. I consider it a win!

Hard to tell the difference when there's so many holes already!
