Then something absolutely crazy happened. One day she was playing in her room and I was sitting on her bed holding Malia. She held out a little black tube in her hand, "Mom, is this my tube from Dr. Romeo?" (She had tubes put in 5/07.)
"Yes it is. Look at that!" I was staring at this tiny thing that has been sitting in ear wax since last February.
"Well, do you think there is such thing as a tube fairy? I think there is. I am going to put it on my shelf and he'll come and get it in the middle of the night." She had the most excited sparkle in her eyes because something exciting had finally happened to her.
So of course, the Tube Fairy visited our house in the middle of the night. And, of course, he left a dollar for Brooklynn! She came to wake me up at 5:30 in the morning with the fantastic news!
All was well until the afternoon when through her tears she told me that now that the Tube Fairy had come and taken her tube, she couldn't show it off to her neighborhood friends. Being the problem solver she is, she dictated a note for me to write:
"Dear Tube Fairy,
Thank you for coming to my house and for the money. I was not ready to part with my tube. Please bring it back and my dad will give you a candy bar.
Thank you, Brooklynn"
Luckily, the Tube Fairy could locate the tube and it was returned the next night.

that is the cutest thing ever Mal! Good thing the tube fairy in VA is so organized! The one here in UT would of lost it for sure!
Malissa,
oh, that is awesome! I absolutely loved Brooklyn's note to the Tube Fairy. She is ingenious! Did Mark get a candy bar out of it being brought back?
That is so cute. I'll have to use that story in a talk or lesson somewhere. :)
