One fine day Almind came running to me complaining of tooth ache. I observed his teeth and found more space inbetween them than usual. Yes, a tooth was loose. I thought of following few things which i did for my elder son, Albrain. I started playing "Tooth fairy" stories in youtube and asked him to read a PDF story book which i downloaded (for Albrain i was able to lend a book from a library but for Almind since it's pandemic, i took online materials). He was so excited about the fairy visit.
Yesterday (18-07-2020) during our lunch time, he felt uncomfortable and asked me to check his teeth. To my surprise the tooth had already fallen off. First I thought he swallowed it along with his food. Then we all searched his plate and finally found the tooth next to him. I took him to wash room cleaned his tooth and wiped off his mouth. He was in complete joy about tooth fairy's visit again. I wrapped the tooth in a paper and kept it in my wardrobe. At night before going to sleep, he wrote a letter to tooth fairy. I gave the tooth to him. He kept the letter and the tooth together under his pillow and happily went to sleep.
Need not to explain his happiness in the morning, when he found a gift replacing his tooth. He jumped up in joy and thanked the tooth fairy.
Happy that we were able to help him overcome his fear of losing a tooth and comfort his pain.
