He Lost His First Tooth

We have had a "wiggley tooth" since the visit to the dentist in June. We have heard on and off about his wiggley tooth and that the dentist said he would loose it around Christmas. There have been random times since then that he wiggles it, that he cries and says he will never loose a tooth because another friend lost one. The list goes on and on.

Tonight, my first baby, lost his FIRST tooth!! I had no idea how emotional it would be. Noah was in brushing his teeth before bed and I heard all of these muffled noises coming from their bathroom, so I went to see what was the issue now. As you know, 5-year-olds, tend to have issues every once in a while. I got there and the smile on his face was HUGE and the spit from his mouth was not it's usually color of toothpaste, and there was something in his hand, and he kept telling me over and over that he lost his tooth, trying to smile with a mouthful of toothpaste and smiling from ear to ear!!!! We cleaned up, rinsed his mouth, I put a cold/wet washrag in his mouth to make the bleeding had stopped and there it was. His FIRST tooth, gone. AMAZING!!! I told him to tell me how it happened. He said that he was brushing his teeth, and felt something in his mouth, and thought it was a nut, and he looked in his hand and there it was. His FIRST tooth! Sitting there in the palm of his hand. I can't even describe the excitement level!!! He said "Mrs. Radloff will be so surprised". We called Dad and told him to come to our house right away, we called people to spread the good news! Dad arrived and the conversation was all around what the tooth fairy might bring, is she real, is she invisible, will he see her, will she leave me a quarter, will she leave me candy. We finally got him in his room, discussion then revolved around where to put the special case that his tooth was in, the book shelf was it's final resting place. More tomorrow!

Tonight Was A Good Night!!!!

How Sweet It Is.
