Found under Lily’s pillow tonight…
She’s going to be quite the savvy businesswoman.
I mean, once she loses the lisp.

She will rule the world if she can figure that whole keep-the-tooth, get-the-money gig and apply it to the rest of her life! :)

I love the spelling in the letter. Yes, she will rule the world some day.

Lily is a girl after my own heart. I think she could teach me a thing or two.
The video was so cute!

this is too cute! I love it!
Jessica Radick recently posted..YAY- ETSY- CHECK IT OUT-
Oh I’m in love! I’m impressed from both the note and the video. Looks like the apple don’t fall far from the tree.
She is itching to be creative. What kind of art does she do? Hobbies? I know she must have something that she is particularly great in.
Anthony from CharismaticKid recently posted..It’s Official- NYC Superhero Seminar in September-
She uber creative- she could color 24/7. I was exactly the same way at her age. :)
Expand her horizons. Get her a huge easel with big pieces of paper to color/paint/draw on. Give her art missions, like, “I want you to draw a picture of an animal you’ve never seen before. You have ten minutes!”
Yesterday I visited the metropolitan museum of art with Rose and she was loving the HUGE paintings of modern art. I think your daughter would love something like that.
When you can see one of your kids becoming passionate about something, push them in that direction to see if it sticks. Immerse them in that world of what she’s interested in.

She is so sweet! Sniff Sniff I’ll never have that mother/daughter moment…:)

How can the Tooth Fairy say no to such a request?
Seattledad (Luke, I am Your Father) recently posted..Waiting for Star Bucs in Seattle
She can’t. Though the tooth is already MIA. Yuck.
My favorite thing is that she doesn’t even try to sugar coat it. She just gets right to the point. Love it!
That’s how you do it! Have it all.
Marilyn (A Lot of Loves) recently posted..How to Stop Dress Slippage- Wednesday of Few Words
Eleanor is only three but already terrified by “tooth fairies” (apparently she imagines them as a swarm). Every day I promise her that she doesn’t have to lose her teeth if she doesn’t want to (the lies never end at my house…) I think she’d be all about Lily’s proposal – with the added stipulation that said “mune” be wired via bank transfer.
Kate Coveny Hood recently posted..Week of Random Flashbacks 2- Guest Post from Kate Coveny- Age Nine
Cute!
Very cute!
Kelly recently posted..Learning the Ropes
She’s learnt the power of the written word early. Bet you leave the tooth!
Catch the Kids recently posted..New Age Dress-ups
That note is amazing!
I seriously love that note…she’d be a great divorce lawyer! I’m keeping everything, but I want money too…I’d totally give her a retainer!
Rebecca recently posted..Eat- Pray- Love NAH!!!!
Not a retainer for braces…a money retainer for her services…I just realized that didn’t sound right with the video…duh…
Rebecca recently posted..Eat- Pray- Love NAH!!!!
Awww how cute..So did the tooth fairy oblige her request?
Raquel recently posted..The FuneralThe Last Chapter
But, of course!!
She is so adorable. And I love her rhyme!
My oldest just lost his first upper tooth (the second is about to come out any day now) and immediately he realized that he couldn’t talk right.
Ahh, they are growing up too fast!
Kmama recently posted..Week in Review- 7-10-10
Love it!!! She the wants her cake and eats it to kinda girl!
Jackie recently posted..The Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment – Part 2
She is sooo cute!! And that letter is classic.
You have got to save that for her! Too cute!!
Chrissy MacCEO recently posted..Temptation and Weakness at it’s best…
Love it! Anna just lost her front tooth on Saturday. They’ll have to compare.
Bigger question: What exactly does Lily want to do with the tooth she keeps?
Considering that it’s already lost somewhere in the house, I don’t think she had any grand plans. I just hope one of her brothers doesn’t think it’s a mint or something.
Reese lost tooth #7 last week, and announced, “I will believe the tooth fairy is real if she leaves me $2.” We got her down to $1….
Lolli recently posted..Cub Scout Day Camp
Aw, I love it! My oldest hasn’t lost a tooth yet…he is SO impatient!

Justine recently posted..Racing to keep up- On life with two boys Guest Post
I had a lisp at her age and had to take speech lessons in school to get rid of it! It just takes practice! :-)
Shelley recently posted..Weekend Recap – Another Award-
I swear they are born as natural salespeople! My oldest is that way, too.
That is just too cute! What is it about teeth that makes all kids want to keep at least one from the tooth fairy? Save that note forever!
My son wrote the tooth fairy two letters asking for his teeth back. He is angry that he hasn’t received them yet and wants to know if we can call the police or the FBI about it.

Teri posted something about you on her fb wall so I had to check you out. That note is priceless! I have to follow you now! I am over at http://www.dailylifewithbipolar.blogspot.com

That is so great!
What I love is your laugh after her made up version. :)
The You Tube told me to try later that an error occured, but that’s okay, probably because it’s getting a bunch of hits of people wanting to view it.
She’s a doll and you’re right a smart businesswoman.
I love reading your blog. I check it out all the time hoping for new posts!
I hope you don’t mind — I’ve been telling all my friends about your blog.
I printed 100 free business cards with my 10 favorite websites (yours was #1!!) and handed them out at our last Mommy Meet-up.
It made me wonder if you had ever done that for yourself? Do you ever meet anyone at a coffeeshop or a playground and start talking about blogging? Maybe you could print up some cards to hand out. Just an idea!
In return for inspiring me, I wanted to pass on these money saving tips to you:
– 100 Free business cards at http://www.RedTagPrintSale.com
In case you decide to get something else printed from them (besides the FREE business cards!) I also wanted to tell you about their unlimited use promo code – it never expires and you can use it again and again:
– 10% off promo code “RTPS10”
FYI: I’ve used this company to print fliers and signs for Church events and even yard sales. The quality is really good compared to what I’ve gotten from VistaPrint and others that offer FREE business cards.
I hope you have a great week. I’ll be checking back soon. Bye!
That is just great! How could the tooth fairy refuse? She asked so nicely…this girl is going to go far!

Too freaking cute.
Sarah recently posted..The sweetness of coming home
Awe…I miss the days when people with a gap in their teeth was “cute”. Now…when I see my fellow Oklahomans on the news saying “the tornader was so loud it sounded like a train” with a missing tooth – it’s just not that attractive. But Lily…super cute :-)
Me want daughters.
She is too cute…such a sweet voice.
Stephanie@Geezees recently posted..You Capture – Vehicle Buy the Ticket – Take the Ride!
Very cute, Jill! :)
Also, hi! Haven’t talked to you in forever missy! How are you? BlogHer in two weeks! YAYAYAYAY!!!! (Dinner still on 9:30 at Tao but still resos at Milos and we can decide that day! Or a few days before!)
All I can say is I hope the freaking tooth fairy shared the dough AND let her keep her tooth :) She is so cute. How could the tooth fairy say no to that? : )
Life with Kaishon recently posted..Beautiful You
Now, if she were “really” your child, she would write a letter that clearly explained to the Tooth Fairy how much whatever product she was peddling sucked, just so she could get it for free.
Impressive, nonetheless.
And… I haven’t heard your voice in fah-eva! It’s weird. (Hearing it, not your voice.)
Danielle recently posted..Foster kids
Who can resist a lisping video from a 5 year old?
Not me.
Adorable.

I love it. Lily will definitely be a savvy businesswoman one day. And a blogger, no doubt. =)

Jennifer recently posted..It’s A Social Parade 7-16-10
So what is the going rate for a top incisor these days?
The dentist informed me this week that each of my twins have three of the exact same teeth loose at one time. (I swear their bowels move at the same time, as well!)
I’m not sure this fairy can afford a two mouth-tooth harvest!! I think I got 50cents a tooth, but with inflation and the state of our economy……..We may have to forgo satelite TV this month! LOL
Jennifer @ The Mommy Mambo recently posted..The Truth is
My husband gave her two bucks. I always got a dollar coin, but we didn’t have them in the house– you’re going to spend a fortune with triplets!
Smart girl you have over there! :-)
