Losing Teeth

Josh lost a tooth!, originally uploaded by aimeemade.

Josh lost his first tooth this evening! He was so excited and was so brave when he let dad pull it!

So, another milestone reached. My last baby losing his first tooth. These milestones are so exciting yet a little sad for me. Each one is a glaring reminder that he's not a baby any more and that I should cherish his willingness and need to snuggle with me now because there will likely come a day when it's not cool to do so any more!

I'm more than a little annoyed that one of his classmates has already ruined the Tooth Fairy for him. It would've been nice to see the magic in his eyes just once. I asked him if he just wanted me to give him the dollar before bed or if he wanted to put his tooth under his pillow anyway. He chose to hide it (good boy!), so I had Jake show him the ropes. Hopefully he'll be a little excited when he finds his golden dollar in the morning!

TD is off again this week to destroy more hopes and dreams. I'm hoping my sanity remains intact for the rest of the week!
