Last Wenesday was Halloween and Ruby was Tinkerbell; I had to work, so I couldn't trick or treat with her. But I saw photographs and she definitely got into character. She wore her costume like she was ready for theater of her own imagination, make-up and wings and a magic wand included.
Last night, she lost her first tooth and my wife and I told her to leave it under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy, who give her a present. She was amazed at her tooth, tinier than I'd expect, but still momentous, a signifier of change. She was worried the other kids at school would poke fun at her; but we reassured her the other kids would go through the same thing.
In the morning, she ran into our room, "Look what the Tooth Fairy gave me, a dollar!" We were all dumbfounded and awe-struck over what happens, when seasons and people transform and the mystery is in and around us.
