A lost tooth....

His first official lost tooth. Yes there are two gaps in that mouth of his but the top tooth was removed surgically when he was 3 so it doesn't really count. The tooth has been loose for weeks, just barely hanging in there. Since I seem to go weak knee and the world starts to spin as soon as I see a tooth dangling I was of no help to try to remove it for him. I relied on the theory that when! it was ready it would just simply fall out. Then hoped that he wouldn't eat the darn thing or lose it once he lost it. That would be a tragedy to the scrapbooker in me. Of course you need to keep that tooth, why it's a milestone. Last night out it came, perhaps not in a normal way, remember this is my house nothing is normal. Rosie (the little angel pictured with him above) head butted him. Don't be fooled by her picture she is more than capable. This time he barely registered being upset, especially when he had the tooth in his hand. Excited would be a better description. So after pictures, (of course I took pictures) we put the tooth in a cup and revisited the whole tooth fairy visit and speculated just what she might bring. Ok, inside I'm wondering what the going rate is on a tooth these days, yes it has been awhile. So as soon as Anthony goes to bed I slip the tooth into a memory pouch and put a 5 dollar bill into the cup. Which causes Cassandra to make mention of the fact that the tooth fairy definitely visits early it was a little after 8pm. Hey if I didn't take care of it immediately I would have most definitely forgotten to do it later. Timing is everything. She of course speculated that the rate for a tooth had definitely increased. ummmmm inflation perhaps? A very excited young boy here this morning.
