My DD, 9yo, 4th grade pulled her front incisor at school today. The nurse put her tooth in a tiny pink chest. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy (complete with questions for the tf to answer), put out water so the fairy can dip her wing to tell her what color it was...... Does she believe? What a wonderful hope that she believes... so glad I used my Cool Carribiean reinker (SU) and Martha Stewart glitter to sprinkle the fairy glee.....oh, and obviously the tooth fairy likes slime and Pusheen! Cheers...

My 10 year old still believes. I was hoping she had figured it out because I forgot to give her money for her tooth for literally like, 3 weeks last summer. But, nope. She still buys it.

My son was a long time believer and defended her all the time.

I had not heard about that water test and hope my kids don’t! Trying to be the tooth fairy, Easter Bunny, Santa, and the Elf on the Shelf is already a lot of work 🙈.
My almost 6 year old already commented that she wondered if the tooth fairy was just something we made up 😱, but then shrugged it off as guess not when a gold coin appeared. Her older brother is still going strong at this point.

I love the innocence of them believing. I even love when you are pretty sure they don't but they go along with it anyways.

She supposedly still believes in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and the elves, Easter Bunny, etc. But strangely enough, she knows that Mickey at WDW is a guy in a suit as are the Santa’s “helpers” we see at the mall, LOL. So I think she knows, but is playing along convincingly and I’m good with that. We never had that conversation with my mom growing up. We just never questioned it and went along with the program.  |

His forth grade teacher pulled me aside at pick up one day to tell me that at recess some kids were saying Santa wasn't real, one of the kids was Jewish and was lobbying hard that there was no such thing and the impossibly of it all. Ds stood his ground and told them all how sad it was that they didn't believe in something so good. He came home that day and cried for all the Jewish kids that were being lied to. |

I am quite jealous of all of you who can pull this off and have imaginative kids like this. My DD believed...until my DS just completely ruined it for her when he was 5. I could never get him on board with santa, the Easter Bunny or tooth fairy. Now I know that it's probably attributed to autism. He just couldnt make his rational mind accept such things.
