1st Lost Tooth

Last week Max came to me and said that he had a loose tooth. Well… it wasn’t just loose, he was holding it in his hand. He had been eating fruit leather and his tooth hurt so he pushed it out with his tongue. I remember a few weeks ago he said his tooth was wiggly, but I couldn’t get it to wiggle.

The tooth fairy brought a dollar. All day long we sang, “I gotta dollar. I gotta dollar. hey, hey, hey, HEY!” Max wanted to go to the store to buy something fun with his dollar. What did he buy? A bag of root beer barrel candy. That should be good for his teeth. Not! He has been cute to share with everyone. So now we can all have cavities. Oh well.

This was an interesting tooth experience. Usually they are hanging by a thread and hurting for weeks. Max was spared that by losing it suddenly. He is 5 1/2 which seems young, but that’s how it rolls sometimes.
