The Sweet Dreams Fairy

It all started last Monday, when Sophie lost a tooth at dinner time.

When preparing to leave her tooth for the tooth fairy, she remembered a friend at school talking about a special spray a fairy brought her to help her sleep.  So, Sophie wrote a note to go next to her tooth fairy offerings.  It reads like this:

In the morning, she awoke to find a Sacajawea dollar from the tooth fairy and a note from the Sweet Dreams Fairy telling her that she was a great sleeper who didn't need any special sleeping sprays.

Since the fairy thought Sophie didn't need a magic spray, she brought her a Hershey's chocolate bar instead, which Sophie wanted to eat for breakfast but had to wait until after dinner to enjoy.  In gratitude, Sophie left the Sweet Dreams Fairy these notes in response:

So that day, both girls decided to write to the Sweet Dreams Fairy: Sophie to thank her for the chocolate (above), and Hannah to ask for some magic sleeping spray.  Here they are writing away before school:

Hannah left this note for the fairy that night, along with two pages of facts and information about herself:

The next morning she found the following response, along with a tiny (fairy-sized) purple spray bottle of sweet-smelling magic sleep spray.

That night she and Sophie both received one squirt of it in the face, since that is how Sophie's friend from school said her spray works.  Hannah wasn't so sure about that, so she wrote back to the Sweet Dreams Fairy to get the real 411.

Still not content (or perhaps just enjoying her correspondence with the fairy), Hannah wrote back again that night to inquire more specifically whether the spray was go go over her quilt or over her pillow.  Sadly, she did not receive a response to this inquiry.  Perhaps the Sweet Dreams Fairy had to attend to other boys and girls who are having trouble sleeping.

Also sadly, the magic sleep spray has not helped too much in helping Hannah sleep or keeping her in bed after bedtime.  Perhaps if she gets to be a good sleeper like her sister the fairy will bring her a chocolate bar too!
