Though it first announced it’s status as a loose tooth weeks ago, today, H’s very first baby tooth fell out. Or rather, the first tooth to fall out fell out. I don’t know if it’s the first tooth he ever got or not (BAD MAMA!). But much fanfare was made, many pictures taken. We eventually had to go in and take it out for him, poor thing. He wasn’t wiggling it as much as maybe he could have and K was worried he’d accidentally swallow it. So about a foot or so of dental floss made into a slipknot later, the tooth was out. The one right next to it is very loose too so I imagine we’ll be going in after it before too long.
Isn’t he adorable? I just can’t believe he’s already losing teeth. He *just* started kindergarten!! Of course, he is pretty big for his age. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Anywho. The tooth is cleaned off and residing in a clean and empty Altoids Tangerine Sours tin, waiting to be placed under his pillow tonight. What’s the tooth fairy’s going rate these days? Anyone? Anyone?

i say that maybe the first tooth gets some special treat. but if you give him a large $ amt this time, he might expect it each time.
i got a quarter, i would say maybe a dollar? a gold dollar coin?
congrats on the milestone H!

The use of the two photos and particularly the top one is great use of photos to enhance the post.
