It's about time!

It finally happened! K lost his first tooth. Well, I should say teeth. His two bottom teeth came out at the same time. They had been loose forever and he would wiggle and wiggle them. They were just too steadfast in immovable! One night while I was brushing his teeth I noticed that his permanent teeth were coming up behind the loose teeth. I knew that wasn't great. We went to the dentist and he had to popped them out for us. Thankfully they were so loose that he didn't need a shot. He was so excited to put his teeth under his pillow. While I was standing at the counter at the dentist's office waiting to check out, the little container that was holding his teeth came open. It couldn't have been because he was jumping up and down with excitement about the thought of a visit from the tooth fairy. The lid opened, the teeth fell out and vanished. We couldn't find them. He was a little worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't know to come if there were no teeth. M reminded him that she had dropped her tooth one day as we were walking home from the Tuckett's and she still got a treat from the tooth fairy. That calmed his nerves and his craziness returned as quickly as it had left. Instead of money, the kiddos ask our tooth fairy for a treat. K could hardly wait to ask for his very own package of Swedish fish! Our tooth fairy is cheap and won't give him a big bag. He got a little bag of his very own Swedish fish even though his teeth were MIA! He asked if he could have them for breakfast the next day. I'm mean enough that I said no, but he could have some after dinner. Thankfully, he's easy to please!
