Sam Lost his First Tooth

I didn't think we would have to worry about this for at least another year, but Sam surprised me with a loose tooth. 

He was simply eating his lunch and crying to me about his tooth hurting.  I thought he was just trying to get out of eating (this is a usual scene at our house).  I finally told him I'd look at it and discovered it was wiggly.  When I told him he was so excited and had to run to the bathroom to look at it.  He was beaming with joy and the possibility of a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

Well, it finally came out yesterday.  Seth got to pull it out for him while I was at church (kids were sick).  I was bummed I missed it, but they did their best to video it for me.

This morning Sam came running down the stairs to show that his pleading for a train and not money paid off.  The Tooth Fairy had brought him a trolley and left him a note with fairy dust on it.

He got to keep his tooth since it was his first one and that is a very special thing.

And now guess what?  He was another loose tooth! :)
