One down

and 19 more to go!  Friday MD lost his first tooth!  And when I say lost, I mean it.  How so, you ask?  Well, he went to wash it and it slipped out of his hand/fingers... right down the sink drain!  He was upset... but not really.  I think I was more upset than he was!

While eating lunch, he bit on something hard... he came by to show me his new smile:

 And I am so happy I am one of "those moms" who takes pictures of everything... because this is my only record and proof that he actually had the tooth at one time!

 After picking up MG from school, we went to visit our dear friends.  They played for awhile and then Mia (Kiran and Nikash's neighbor) brought over one of her books.  She was reading to E and then everyone gathered around her.... so cute, huh?!

 He was too busy doing this to read with the others:

 A new smile, indeed!

 I brought out a few library books... Amazing what library books can do, huh?!

 Later before going to bed, he wrote the tooth fairy a letter (aka to him "toos farre")

 Translation:
"Dear Tooth Fairy,
I lost a tooth.
It went down the drain.
May I have a dollar please."

The tooth fairy was generous -- a Pokemon card and $2!
