I started thinking about this time last year today. One year plus one day ago this happened.
And today, another very important first.
He lost his very first tooth.
It was so wiggly last week, I thought for sure it'd be out before the end of the weekend.
Plus, he really wanted to take it to school for his turn at Show and Share on Monday...
But the end of the weekend came, and still no tooth.
If only he had fallen face first into the couch on Sunday...
He was so surprised that his tooth came out so easily and "it didn't even hurt."
It must be very frightening to be a little boy with a wiggly tooth, wondering what it's gonna be like to lose it.
It seems just like yesterday that I would let him chomp on my finger and drool down my forearm trying to alleviate the discomfort of teething. That very tooth. How many more "just yesterdays" will we have together? Many, many more.
Afterwards, he acted like he had been doing this 'tooth losin' thing forever.
Now he's sleeping with his tooth tucked snugly in his tooth fairy pillow. How cute!
Before he drifted off to sleep, he accused me of being the tooth fairy. I just don't know what to think about that!!

Maybe if you feed him only baby food for the rest of his life, he won't lose anymore and can start drooling down our arms and "walking for yogurt" again.
I finally had to tell John David that if he wanted to think the tooth fairy wasn't real then that was okay. It just meant he wouldn't get any more prizes from the tooth fairy under his pillow. He now believes whole-heartedly! =)
and to think, that was just lesserday...
