I have been working on teaching Ethan to count by fives. We have done some work with money counting before and it was VERY successful. So when Ethan came downstairs to tell me he had a loose tooth I shouldn't have been so surprised when he asked me, "When I loose this tooth can I save it until I loose another tooth and another tooth and another tooth so I can get a twenty dollar bill?" You see, the Tooth Fairy comes to our house with five dollar bills, and Ethan knows this because he lost his first one a while back. Five dollars a tooth, 20 baby teeth, the Tooth Fairy is out $100 per kid - my boy can count by fives-PRICELESS!
