Preface: At Caleb's dentist office, the staff gives each child a necklace with a plastic tooth container attached to it whenever he or she has a tooth extracted.
After Caleb had his tooth extracted from the dentist yesterday he made the decision to keep the necklace around his neck in an attempt to "catch" the tooth fairy in the act (as he would wake up once she tried to remove the necklace from his neck). Knowing that time is running out on his magical beliefs in such ideas and characters, I decided to leave the necklace as it was as I didn't to take the risk of waking him up. In the morning, my plan was to explain that the tooth fairy sometimes allows you to keep your tooth as a souvenir, especially when it's a molar as large as his was). With that said, we placed the money under his pillow once he fell asleep, however, whenever he woke up this morning he overlooked the money placed under his pillow. After careful thought and consideration, Caleb made the following remark, "I guess the tooth fairy knew I was trying to trick her and that's why she didn't leave me any money. I guess tonight I will place the tooth under my pillow so she can take it and leave me some money".
