And It's Out of There!

"Mom, look, my tooth is wiggling a little!" Oh, those are dreaded words to my ears! I am very squeamish of blood and such so hearing that my first born has now crossed over to losing his teeth was not something I was ready for!

Sure enough about 2 weeks after that initial wiggling tooth it was time for him to lose it. 

Sunday after church Grandma Gator took a "look at it"

 He was dramatic about it (he gets that honest from his mother :)

 but just "one more look"

 and it was out of there!

 it didn't hurt a bit!

 he was so excited!

 and a little shocked

 I think poor Bethany was traumatized by the whole thing

 

 Ayden couldn't believe his new smile

 "thanks Grandma Gator"

 I can remember just as clearly the day I got a phone call from Ayden's daycare teacher...."I felt a tooth!"

Ayden didn't get his first tooth until he was 12 months old and it was the back tooth that came in first????

Now fast forward just 5 short years later and my babies teeth are falling out!

 Even though he said that he doesn't believe in the tooth fairy I asked him to just try it anyway.

The next morning before school he woke up with a surprise under his pillow.

 He was still half asleep so it had not quiet set in yet.

There was a note that read. 

"You're mom and dad were right, I am real! 

Thanks for the tooth and I'll see you in a few months.

Love xoxox

 Ahhhh, now it set in!

 A whole dollar!

What a neat experience this parenting thing is! I can remember what it was like losing my first tooth and now my babies get to enjoy it.

I love my kids!
