Brayden's 1st Lost Tooth

For a while now Brayden has shown us how loose his bottom two teeth have been and we have wondered when they are going to come out. Well IT HAPPENED!! Last night Logan and him were doing some wrestling, a very common activity in our home, and one of the teeth fell out. For a while we couldn't find it and then we heard Brayden shouting "I found it!" He was shocked because it seemed so much smaller than he thought it should be.






Brayden had to tell someone, so we called Grandma and Grandad on Facetime using our Iphone's so they could see the missing tooth. Pretty fun!



So we explained how this tiny tooth will be replaced by a bigger tooth and that means that he is growing up and getting older. He wasn't sure how that would work and followed with several questions. One of which was, "What if only a few big teeth grow in and I still have all my other small ones, won't that look funny?" I thought that was a very thoughtful question and simply said, "yes it would, but they will continue to fall out and it takes time for the big ones to grow in."

Logan was very intrigued by this whole topic as he is ALWAYS trying to find ways that he can grow up faster. So after about 5 minutes Logan came over and started telling us that he had a tooth that was loose and he wanted to go wrestle so it could come out :)

So the stage was set for the tooth fairy to make her entrance last night and slip in a prize under Brayden's pillow. Well, unfortunately Mom and Dad totally spaced it and forgot to get the tooth fairy to put something under his pillow. So first thing in the morning Brayden came in shocked and wondering how the tooth fairy missed this tooth. So we went through some scenarios. Maybe it was too late when you went to bed and the tooth fairy couldn't make it. Maybe she was so busy and only came by our house when you were awake and she had to keep moving.

To all you professional tooth fairy parents...take it easy on us, we are rookie's at this. This is our first tooth that has come out and we are certainly due for a mistake or two, right? :)

So I told Brayden I was certain the tooth fairy would do it tonight if he put the tooth under his pillow. We shall see...
