Exciting things have been happening around here. Drew has lost his very first tooth! When we first discovered that he had a loose tooth several weeks ago; I got very excited. Probably even more excited than Drew. For me it just meant that we really have entered a new phase of childhood for him. He's old enough to be losing teeth!
So for about two weeks we had daily wiggle tests on the tooth. I was starting to get worried that we were going to have to help it along and I knew that would make Drew nervous. Luckily it just fell out on his own while he was wrestling with his Daddy one day. There was a little bit of blood at first so Drew wasn't happy so much as scared by the blood. As soon as it stopped though he started to get very worked up about his first visit from the tooth fairy.
He decided right before bed that he didn't like the idea of a strange fairy coming into his bedroom in the middle of night. And really who can blame him? The whole concept is a little creepy. So to make him feel safer we decided to leave the tooth in a glass of water on the kitchen counter. And because he was lucky enough to lose his tooth right before Valentine's Day he got money and a special Valentine from the tooth fairy. I don't think he'll be at all worried about the next visit from her.
So being the sappy mom that I am I have to admit I'm a little sad about losing that first baby tooth. One by one they will all fall out and continually remind me that my baby is not a baby anymore. He's growing up.
