Jacob has had a loose tooth for about a month now. We first realized it on Friday, December 10th while eating out at Chili's. Jacob bit into his corn on the cob and complained that it hurt his tooth. I checked it and it sure was loose! He was so excited! He was sure to tell our Chili's waiter each time he came to our table. He has been diligently wiggling it to help speed it along. He finally lost it on Saturday, January 8th, while biting into his Papa John's pizza. He got a confused look on his face and said something like, "what the?" Then he spit the bloody thing in his hand. He was SO excited the day had finally come! Trevor & I both felt dread. We realized our son is growing up! We would like him to stop!! We talked about the tooth fairy coming that night and he said he wanted to wait so he could take it to school and show his class. He said his teacher sings kids the tooth song when they lose one. It was Saturday night when he lost it. Because of parent-teacher conferences he didn't have school again until Thursday. So he carried his tooth around in a baggie all week. The next morning after losing his tooth, he showed Hunter and Hunter put his finger in the space where Jacob's tooth used to be and gasped. It was so cute! There has been a lot of losing teeth talk around these parts by both Jacob and Hunter. On Thursday night, the 13th, the tooth went under the pillow. The Tooth Fairy was very kind. She brought Jacob a $2 bill. I thought that would be exciting for him. When he brought the envelope to me at 2 a.m. he pulled out the bill and then continued to look for more. Apparently he told Trevor the next morning that maybe the Tooth Fairy would bring something different next time, like a coin. Hmm..
Jacob had lots of questions about the Tooth Fairy. One of them was "What does she do with my tooth?" I didn't have an answer for him so asked him what he though. He said he thought she took the tooth and turned it into the $2. I thought that was a pretty imaginative guess.
Jacob is already busy wiggling the tooth next to it which has just started coming loose.
