First Tooth

Hello!

In reference to yesterday's blog, today was one of those days of endings and beginnings. This morning my husband and I coached our son's last soccer game. It was a great, cool morning and everyone was excited to play. After the game, we had ice cream and gave out "awards."

Tonight while eating dinner, corn on the cob to be exact, our littlest guy lost his first tooth. We had been anticipating it for a day or two. When I went to the grocery store this afternoon I picked up the corn thinking it might help the process along. He was so cute. He didn't even know his tooth was gone. He said, "Look, there's blood on my corn." I quickly looked more closely and there was his tiny tooth. He looked at it and didn't really realize what happened until after we rinsed out his mouth and so he could look more closely. That's when we discovered he had another loose tooth. So.........we await the next exciting event.

This is a big deal for kids. All school year he looked in the mirror when he brushed his teeth hoping to see one of them wiggle. After this tooth came out both of my older children, who were present, told stories about when they lost their first tooth. Isn't it funny how something as little as losing a tooth evokes so many fond memories?

We had a fun time talking about teeth and losing them and then memories surrounding teeth and growing up. We called both grandmas and told them the news. They were both very excited.

Now we await the visit from the tooth fairy. Our little guy is a little scared so he's hunkered down under his sheet. We told him that there is nothing to be afraid of because the tooth fairy loves him very much, but he still preferred to stay under the sheet. Oh well.....

Until next time...have hope.
