Ben has lost his first tooth! After a week of having a wobbly tooth (with many thanks in his bedtime prayers for that wobbly tooth), that tooth fell out on Sunday November 9th! He wore a tooth shaped badge at school the next day proclaiming his tooth loss success. I keep saying, its a good things kids get really excited about their teeth falling out because, shouldn't it actually be very scary? We put the tooth in a little bag and hid it under Ben's pillow. Later that night, after nearly forgetting to perform my tooth fairy duties, I searched under his pillow to find the tooth missing! I flopped Ben all around searching for the tooth (through wich he slept soundly), to discover it was definitely gone. I began to wonder if Ben's faith had actually produced a tooth fairy. I then awoke Steven to see if he knew anything and turned out, he had in fact moved the tooth to the book shelf. So I deposited a $5 bill with personalized note and went to bed. In the morning Ben asked, "mom, did you leave this?" He's already onto us.
