We knew it would happen soon. Anderson’s teeth have been getting more and more loose. Yesterday one was almost dangling so we prepared him for when it came out. He seemed a little apprehensive about it but we told him it would be fine. I told him about how his mom lost her tooth when she took a bite of a cheeseburger once and another tooth stayed in the pizza when she took a bite of it. If I recall correctly, she also swallowed one of her teeth!
He asked about the tooth fairy. It seems there are four or five others in his class that have already lost teeth so they told him about the tooth fairy. So we said yes, the tooth fairy will visit after his tooth comes out.
He was all set for magic. Then I stayed behind at the motel while my daughter took the boys to see her dad and step mother for dinner. About a half hour later I got a text picture of the tooth in the palm of Anderson’s hand. So I missed being there. So did his dad. His grandpa got this one but that’s okay. I have had the pleasure of sharing so many firsts with Anderson that I don’t mind him having one!
When they got back to the hotel, Anderson jumped out of the car and ran to me showing me his missing tooth (the hole in his mouth). He was so cute, he asked where he was sleeping and when he was told he could sleep with me or with his mom, he said he’d sleep with mom. Then he took his tooth out of his mom’s purse and ran to put it under the pillow. He was soooo excited. It made me happy to know that at least for a while he’ll believe in magic and the tooth fairy
and Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
That’s all part of growing up and we can all use a little bit of magic once in awhile. We’ll let Anderson have his!

How exciting, Corina. My kids are still losing teeth although not quite with the same excitement. My daughter didn’t want to give her first tooth to the tooth fairy but I think she reluctantly relented and I felt a bit awful. A good life lesson on letting go, perhaps? She is a real hoarder and we’re trying to work on that but we’re all very sentimental so haven’t made a lot of progress. Take care xx Rowena

I’m traveling. I won’t get to unpack any electronics until we stop for the evening. I can try to do it then. Or you can tag someone else. I only have my phone now so can’t do it now.
