Ratóncito Pérez Came For a Visit

Jackson has lost three teeth now- I am really hoping that the other front tooth falls out so that we get just a little bit of time without both of the top ones. It seems almost every time he is trying to talk to me now I just start laughing, it is endearing when they loose their teeth.

The tooth fairy doesn't make it to Spain, so when I was a kid I learned about a little mouse named Ratón Pérez. It is the same basic idea, the child places their tooth under the pillow and in the morning something very different is there.

Ratón Pérez comes to our house, he must be able to cross the ocean and head over. I have told the kids it is pretend, but it is okay to pretend and enjoy imagining what this little guy looks like.When Jackson lost his first tooth I started a tradition that Ratón Pérez would leave a picture behind of his story, so each night when Jackson looses a tooth I stay up late painting, it is very fun. These are for the first 3 teeth Jackson has lost.
