Do Tooth Fairy pillows have to be the shape of a tooth? I don’t think so. In fact, I find teeth to be a little creepy. Maybe it has to do with the dreams (nightmares) I’ve had over the years that involved my teeth falling out. I’ve done my own self-analysis and I realize this re-occurring dream is connected to my feelings of fear and loss of control. But that’s another discussion. Let’s just say that the thought of waking up in the middle of the night to a tooth hanging over my bedpost would not be an enjoyable experience, and would most likely result in a range of terrorized reactions.

So, now you know one of the many reasons I chose to go a more decorative, whimsical route and less of a “toothy” route when it came to Sorrisi’s pillow designs. I wanted my kids to have pillow that didn’t scare them when they woke up in the morning, and that didn’t necessarily scream “I’m a toothy tooth fairy pillow” all the days of the year they weren’t losing teeth. Maybe the tooth fairy is disappointed in my lack of spirit, but I don’t think so. When I recently checked in with her she was quite relieved that she didn’t have to go looking for a big stuffed tooth haunting her child’s bed in the middle of the night!
