Ok, so when did this happen? My little boy is growing up so fast I can hardly believe it. This morning the 3 of us (Cole, Alexis and myself) went to the dentist for our routine cleaning and check up. Cole has been talking about his loose tooth forever, but until the check up when Sandy looked at it and said "I'll be surprised if he makes the day with that one!" it didn't really sink in that he would actually lose the tooth so soon. He wiggled on it all morning, then headed off to school. When he came home he had a little red envelope from his teacher that read"Cole tried to pull his tooth at school so I bribed him to stop. This is a special tooth holder inside (he wanted to pull it so he could get one). It is loose!"
They must get this special little plastic tooth holder to put their tooth in if it falls out in during school. Ok, we then headed outside to play. He comes over when I am and says "Mom, look at this" and has his tooth all the way bent over. He REALLY wanted it out. So I told him to just grab hold of it and yank it out. AND HE DID!!! I couldn't believe it! I held on to it for him until we headed inside. Both the kids hopped in the tub, but before could would get in he climbed his naked little butt up on the stool to look at the "hole" in his mouth in the mirror. He was so amazed and proud of himself. He did the same thing after he got out of the tub, like he just couldn't get enough of that missing tooth!
So I had to get busy to make a pillow for his tooth for the tooth fairy. We looked on-line and found a cute pattern. It's a tooth shaped pillow with a little pocket on the back for the tooth. He's now sleeping with that pillow and his tooth under his bed. But also a note to the tooth fairy asking if he can keep his tooth just one more day. ( we think he wants to show his teacher )
Here's some pix of our monumental event.
