Just a quick one to let you know that Josh finally lost his first tooth yesterday! He has had a very loose tooth for a while (lower front one in the middle), we have actually been able to see the new tooth poking out of his gum behind his loose one for at least a few weeks! Josh said his tooth came out when he was nudged by Cooper (the dog) and he bumped his mouth on something and voila! It fell out on the floor!
We were slightly worried that his new tooth coming in behind was too crooked and would stay that way, but were assured this was not the case and that the new tooth would move into it’s proper position in time. (Whew!)
Anyway, Josh was pleased to get $5 (!) for his tooth, as reportedly this is the going rate for cleaning the tooth up nicely and placing it in / under his ‘tooth pillow’ (it has a little pocket on it for such an occasion). (Plus I heard that this is all the tooth fairy had on her at the time…!)
The joys of growing up…!
