Tooth Fairy - She comes in many forms!

What do you do as a parent when your child loses a tooth? I know when I was growing up my parents use to always leave money under my pillow and would tell me that the tooth fairy left the money in exchange for my tooth. My daughter actually lost her first tooth yesterday and we broke the regular tradition and did something different. We got her a really cute [Butterfly Charm Necklace] and wrote a note that says the fallowing: "Thank you so much for the lovely tooth! I'm taking this tooth to a special place. In return I'm giving you this Butterfly Necklace. It represents your transformation into a young lady, just like a Caterpillar transforms into a beautiful Butterfly. Love, the Tooth Fairy." I thought it was different and fun. Plus I know my daughter loves getting letters from Santa Clause, so I figured she would also like one from the tooth fairy. So, how about you parents out there? What have you done, that is if you do anything at all. I know some parents don't do stuff like this and some might even find it funny. I use to love things like this as a kid. It's nice to be able to fantasize about Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. Kids love it! And I think changing traditions around, could also be fun. I know my daughter isn't to fond of money, so I thought it be boring for her if I put money under the pillow. So I'm kind of glad I thought of something different. Although it took me and my husband a few minutes to think of something at the last minute, I think we did good. Plus, I think it's special, it being her first tooth and all...
