Yay! Nate lost his first tooth today! He's been telling us his teeth were loose all year long but this time it was the real deal. The bottom middle tooth has been wiggly for quite some time now (like 3 weeks for those who cannot remember the tooth losing process). He's been pushing it around with his tongue and tugging on it with his fingers. Troy and I were concerned that he would lose it on Spring Break when we weren't with him so there were strict instructions for everyone in contact with him that there was to be no discussion of teeth so as not to encourage his wiggling. And, so he comes home from break and it's still a good week and a half before this tooth let's go of it's death grip in Nate's young gums! He was sooo excited! It happened during clean up at day care after school. I'm not sure if the bloody massacre shirt he was wearing or the wide smile with a black hole in the bottom gave him away when I picked him up that day.
Gramma Char got Nate a book about the tooth fairy and it came complete with a tooth pouch and an electric votive candle (to guide the tooth fairy to your house, of course!). Nate placed that tooth in his pouch and checked on it about a bazillion times before he would fall asleep that night. His candle was burning bright on the window sill. And, lo and behold, a silver dollar took the place of his little tooth by morning. There was so much buzz about the tooth fairy that even Tessa awoke the next morning, with her eyes still closed and in a morning daze, and asked if the tooth fairy came or not.
It's next door neighbor is wiggly so it pry won't be long until Nate is bearing a completely toothless smile!
I'm not sure why Nate has a bloody nostril in the above pictures?! Don't think it was related to the tooth losing process.
