First missing tooth
One day in June my kids and I were getting ready to sit down to eat some lunch. I had made hot dogs and had put them in front of the kids to eat and went back to the kitchen to make mine. After a few minutes Eli tells me that his tooth hurts. At first I told him he would be fine and went back to doing what I was doing. (What a great Mom!) A minute later he says, "Mom my tooth really really hurts." So I go over and take a look. He points to the tooth and I look at it but don't see anything stuck in it and tell him to be careful eating. Just as I was about to sit he tells me again, "Mom my tooth is wiggling!" My first thought was that there couldn't be any way he had a loose tooth. He is only 5, right! Well as I took another look and this time used my finger I about fell on the floor when it was in fact loose. I could tell that he was not sure if he should be scared or not so I used my best excited face and told him how great it was that he was becoming a big kid and getting his big kid teeth. As I talked to him I could tell he was less and less scared and even more so when I told him about the tooth fairy. As I talked I wiggled and after about 5 wiggles that tooth fell right out. So here is our first picture of Eli with his first missing tooth.
I wasn't quick enough with the camera but this is him grabbing for his surprise that the tooth fairy left under his pillow.
MONEY!

Oh my heck! Grace will be so jealous!! She is dying to lose a tooth, that wonderful rite of passage in childhood. She has three that are loose, but one is really starting to wiggle. It's taking it's sweet time though. How fun for Eli and good job on making it fun and not freaky!
