Maren wanted to let everyone know what the tooth fairy gave her.
Maren: The tooth fairy brought me a quarter and a dollar. It wasn't really a quarter, it was more of a big thingy. The tooth fairy got her own envelope. We used a baggy instead of an envelope, she used her own envelope. Well I was kind of scared at first but now I think next time I will be braver instead of dramatic. I think when I grow up I won't be so scared. That's it.
The Harris' apparently have a much more involved tooth fairy tradition than the Wilkes'. The tooth is sealed into an envelope in which the tooth fairy cuts the tooth out with a little hole in the envelope (not big enough for the money) and leaves money in it without opening the seal. Scott still remembers the time that he tricked his dad and marked the envelope and solved the mystery of the tooth fairy.
The Wilkes tradition if I remember correctly involved putting it in a cup in the window and waiting a week or so for tooth fairy to remember.
Scott wasn't home when I put Maren to bed and I used a baggy so the tooth wouldn't get lost. It was so tiny. So we decided we need to get our family traditions straight from now on.
Caleb, I've never got the doorknob trick to work, but according to Scott it worked great at their house. I did consider using pliers, but Maren wouldn't go for it.

That tooth fairy is pretty tricky--I still don't know if Auntie Jill knows the 'tooth fairy secrets', we will have to tell her the truth before Jackson loses a tooth!
I am glad Maren "pulled" through on the tough event! She has grown up so much and I'm glad you guys will be around for another month!
Chersten Harris! I've been looking all over for you. I tried to find you on facebook, but no dice. It's nice to see you're happy and having a ton of girls.
