Snaggletoothed Emerson

Emerson is running out of teeth. Today he lost his sixth tooth, at age six and a half. With each tooth comes a longer note for the fairy. Partly, because he has (literally) lost two of them before he can get them under his pillow, and partly due to his analytical nature. This is the same child that asked me (at age three) who God's parents are. And while also age three, nonchalantly told us while visiting a cemetery, "you know this is going to be us one day."

Tonight's note reads as follows:

(Page 1)
Dear tooth farry
are your parents real and 
can you 
take a 
picture of 
your self please

(Page 2)
and can you 
find my tooth 
outside 
on the 
sidewalk

my passcode is
2583

What passcode you're wondering? The passcode to his iPod. So Ms. Fairy can take a selfie.
