Chrissy Teigen is doling out some mom wisdom when it comes to the Tooth Fairy.

On Tuesday, Aug. 6, Mindy Kaling shared an adorable photo of her 6-year-old daughter Kit's note to the Tooth Fairy on Instagram. "Dear Tooth Fairy, Please take my tooth!! Love, Kit," the note, which was dated Aug. 4, read.

Kaling sits on her daughter's bed in the photo, holding the note in her lap as Kit writes her message. In the comments, Teigen jokingly gave some advice about what to do if the Tooth Fairy "forgets" to visit Kit.

"If you forget, and I always do, there is a sweet letter online where she talks about how busy she was the night before lol," Teigen wrote.

"So many teeth on so many children," Kaling responded.

Kaling is mom to son Spencer, 3 and daughters Kit and Anne, whom she quietly welcomed earlier this year.

In June, Kaling shared that her third baby, daughter Anne, arrived earlier this year, announcing the news on Instagram.

Posting a sweet picture of her baby daughter with Kit and Spencer, the actress took a moment to reflect on growing her family in her caption. She also shared a photo that featured her baby bump, as well as a snap of her in a hospital bed alongside her older two kids.

"In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined," Kaling began her caption.

"When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life. I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!"

Since the surprise announcement of her first pregnancy in 2017, Kaling, who has never shared the identity of the father of her children, has been busy keeping up with her little ones.

However, she does have help raising her two kids, telling PEOPLE in 2021 that "it absolutely takes a village." That village includes her nanny, her father Avu and none other than Reese Witherspoon, whom Kaling has lauded as "a great source of parenting advice."
