Xander lost his first tooth last Monday! Can you believe it? I have kids old enough to start losing teeth!!! We had known since the 4th of July that it was wiggly. Sunday night I looked at it and noticed it was super close to falling out. I knew it would be in the next few days it would fall out. When I picked them up from camp on Monday afternoon, the counselor told me he had lost it at lunch. When I asked Xander what happened, he said it fell out into his mouth, so he spit it out and put it in his lunchbox. Then, he told one of the girl counselors that it had fallen out. She put it in a HUGE gallon ziploc bag (see picture 2). And wrote "Xander's Tooth. Lost on 7-12-11" on it and put it in his lunchbox. As you can imagine, they bombarded me with the news when I picked them up! He was a little shy about it. I couldn't decide if he was wierded out by it, or just shy from all the attention he was getting. He put the tooth, bag and all, under his pillow that night and the tooth fairy brought him 8 quarters. Let's do the math on that, shall we? 8 quarters x 20 teeth (per kid) = 160 quarters. Times 3 kids, that's 480 quarters. That's $120 dollars, folks, that we will be spending on lost teeth if the tooth fairy keeps that up. Wow!!! His new tooth is already growing in and he has two other teeth that are starting to get wiggly. He will be a toothless wonder before long! Will has one tooth that you might say is wiggly, and all of Grace's teeth are still firmly in place. So, the tooth fairy may visit Xander again before the other two. No corn on the cob for Xander the rest of this summer!
