Lost tooth

Right before Brendan started school, I took him to the dentist for his teeth cleaning.  His dental hygienist/my friend's mom, noticed that his tooth bottom teeth were starting to get wiggly.  The x-rays showed the bottom teeth making there way up.  Brendan wiggled that tooth all the time, every day.  He kept telling me his tooth felt wiggly and it was getting ready to fall out.

Fast forward about 5 weeks and sure enough, that tooth was getting loose.  We would wiggle it and then look at it and wiggle it some more.  Brendan then became nervous about losing that tooth.  He was scared about the tooth fairy coming in his room while he was asleep.  We assured him it was just like Santa coming and she even left you money for your tooth.

So one chilly October evening our neighborhood friends invited us over for smores after dinner.  We made our way over and the kids ate smores, ran around, wrestled, and pushed each other on the swings.  While we were standing in the kitchen, Brendan and his buddy, Nick, come running inside to play.  Brendan took his jacket off and I caught a glimpse of his mouth.  His smile now missing a tooth. 

"Brendan come over here and let me see something." I said and glance into his mouth.  There is all the proof I need.  That tooth was gone!  "Hey Brendan.  You lost your tooth.  Did you know that?"

Insert a lot of excited shrieking from the adults (well the moms) and the four kids.  They all excitedly ran to the bathroom to check out his new grin and I called outside to Jason to see if he had the tooth.  Nope.  No idea where it went.  We did try to look for it but the dark sky, rain, and leaves didn't make it any easier. 

Instead he wrote a note explaining that he lost it outside and then put the note under his pillow.  He was thrilled when he woke up the next morning to $2 whole dollars!  He even planned out how he was going to spend it. $1 for Cookie Friday at school and the other dollar for when we go to the restaurant with all the games.

Hopefully we will get tooth #2 when it decides to fall out...
