Atticus lost his first tooth at the end of September. He had been waiting and waiting to lose a tooth. Even during the end of Kindergarten, he would talk about losing a tooth and then finally when First Grade started, he really wanted to lose one because everyone else was! He would ask me many times to check his teeth to see if they were wiggly. I would give him hope, but most of the time they were not. Finally, he had a wiggly tooth. In fact, both bottom front teeth became wiggly and he was so excited. He actually lost two within a couple of weeks of one another. But, the first one is so exciting! It was one of those hanging on by a thread and it actually came out at school! The nurse gave him a little plastic tooth to bring it home in. It was an exciting day!
This was him with it still in place.
And this is that gross stage where they can push it all the way out with their tongues, but it's still hanging on!
When he got home the next day, it was gone!
So that night, he left it under his pillow with a note. And the next morning, he had a letter and five glittery tooth fairy dollars!
And of course, Grace thought it was pretty neat too!
