I have a whole roadtrip / BlogHer wrap up post waiting to be written and linked and all that shit. But school starts on MONDAY (yeah, that early!) and this week I’ve been ugh tired. Also? Ugh busy. And “Ugh, it’s the end of summer!” It’s been a lot of ughs.
In the meantime, my little guy hit another first, which he is very excited about. This is one of those a lot of his friends have already had. His first loose tooth! With the new tooth already breaking through behind it.
Zoinks.
So how much is the Tooth Fairy going to leave under his pillow? She just left me a quarter–but adjusting for inflation, he should get at least a dollar, don’t you think?
Scott – So we researched it on the Internet (because the Internet knows everything) and the going rate is between $2 and $5 bucks! Geez! The tooth fairy has developed quite the racket.
On another note… that picture is scary huge! That was not intentional. That will teach me to blog from my phone.
I think you should do your part to assist the world economy and stabilizing our currency by keeping inflation to a minimum. $1 is my recommendation.
The rule of thumb? The kid should be faced with a choice of a) buying candy, or b) saving his money so he can possibly buy a toy later, with allowance and/or some additional missing teeth.
