The Tooth

This is the story of Ethan's second lost tooth.

Ethan has had a loose tooth for over a month. Since Ethan was five, he began to wish he had lost a tooth like so many of his friends. Poor Ethan seemed to feel that the Tooth Fairy was never going to make her way to our house. Then in January (I think) we were on a long car trip and Ethan managed to wiggle his first loose tooth out. Being in the car, we were not able to capture the moment with a camera. However, we had plenty of time to prepare for his second wiggly tooth to come out (a months worth of wiggling) and I managed to keep Ethan still so that I could take a few pictures while he worked at it. When it got to the point where it was hanging by a thread and it would sit on his lip, Ian and I both encouraged Ethan to yank it out.

I'm afraid!

I did it! Look!

Look Daddy!

So proud. I was so happy it was out! He could barely eat his lunch at school!

Ethan wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy to ask her if he could keep his tooth to show his friends. She brought him two loonies and left him the tooth.

We made a tooth container for Ethan to bring to school and then somehow we lost the tooth! It went missing for two days. I thought for sure we lost it (literally). I ended up finding it again and all was well!

Now, we are waiting for his top teeth to start to wiggle!
