The First Tooth!

 Big news at our house! Tommy lost a tooth!! It was traumatic but we got through it.  Yes, traumatic, for both of us.  I have a real problem with wiggly teeth or basically anything tooth related.  It just freaks me out.  So I certainly didn't help him with this brand new experience.  It had been wiggly for awhile and one day while eating a carrot, it became REALLY loose.  He freaked out (it must have hurt a little).  So I tried not to freak out and told him he could just pull it out.  He was NOT having it. So I told him I could give him some tylenol if he was hurting.  Then some sort of placebo effect kicked in.  I didn't even give him the medicine.  He just felt like I had, I guess.  He grabbed his tooth and easily pulled it right out.

We were so excited!!! We had to FaceTime Dada who was on his way to the Crossroads Classic that day.  We also FaceTimed Grandma.  She answered and it was just Tommy showing his teeth.  He wouldn't say anything.  It cracked me up.  He was super excited.  The tooth fairy was going to come!! Hooray!

In celebration, we went to see Trolls again.  However, this picture is not from the theater that was showing Trolls.  They sold us tickets to see Moana and I didn't look closely except for the number.  So we missed the first 15 minutes of Trolls because we were sitting in the Moana theater waiting for it to start.  We had to gather all our winter coats, snacks, sandwiches (yeah I brought sandwiches, it was dinnertime, ha!), and sneak all of us out of the theater and figure out which one we were supposed to be in.  Whoops!

Oh well.  It was still a fun celebration.  You'll probably notice that Tommy doesn't smile without showing his missing tooth gap now.  It's pretty cute.

Oh yeah, the tooth fairy visited! That was exciting.  She brought a dollar! Tommy took his dollar and chose to buy a slinky.  Good choice, buddy!

Congrats on your first tooth! It looks like it won't be long before we have another for the tooth fairy.
