One more time....

Jango is getting to use his new tooth pillow for the first time.  After we wrote our last entry about not having a pillow to put our tooth in, one of our readers and friends, Mrs. Linda, sent each of the boys a tooth pillow.  It worked wonders and the tooth fairy found the pillow and left the money just as she is supposed to...  

The only problem now.... how to smile for the camera, while showing your missing teeth, and not looking completely scary!! YIKES!!

 That's it... it could have something to do with Momma getting the flash off... WOW!! Two teeth missing right beside each other...

The Morning After

So our family doesn't have one of those cute little pillows to put the teeth in for the tooth fairy, and we have both boys in the same bed. So we had a bit of a dilemna about what to do with this tiny tooth in that big, twin-sized bed. The solution, a ziploc bag, of course. We put the tooth in, put it under the pillow... then the agonizing minutes before sleep... it was almost too much to handle... he was sure he would be awake all night, and the tooth fairy might not actually come because he wouldn't be asleep...

"What happens if I can't go to sleep?" "Will the tooth fairy know it's me with "him" in the bed with me?" "What about..." I'm sure there were many more questions, but I walked away.... almost 18,000 seconds later... he was asleep...

Han woke him up the next morning before going to work so we could all see if the tooth fairy had indeed come, or if he had somehow been skipped over... well... the tiny tooth in the bag had been replaced by four shiny quarters... He seemed pretty happy, but I think there was a little disappointment... after all, almost everyone else that comes to our house while we are sleeping brings WAY more than four quarters, but none-the-less, he went on about his day, making sure to tell every person that he saw or talked to on the phone that he had lost a tooth and the whole story of "How it all Happened"...

Almost all of the stories ended with... "There should really be a song... Happy Tooth-day to you... Happy Tooth-day to you... "

Another "First"

So this is the first blog post on our blog, and also the celebration of the first tooth that was lost by "Jango". So the day started out like any other... we were doing school, in our school room, of course. "Boba" was doing his school, so Jango was just running around playing and eating popcorn (the snack we have every day while we do school). Boba and I were reading stories together, when Jango yells, "Momma... I think I just lost a tooth!"

He smiled a VERY large smile, and I could see blood in his mouth. "I thought it was a kernel of popcorn, and I spit it out on the table, and then I saw that it was white and had something red on it. It was blood, and then I thought 'that's a tooth!' So I yelled at you..." I went with him to the bathroom and he washed his mouth out a few times, though he could hardly rinse and smile at the same time.... We now officially have a "big" kid in our house now!!

Stay tuned for more adventures from around the world...
