Lost a tooth....

Max lost his first tooth on our trip to Great Wolf Lodge this weekend. He has had a few loose teeth for a few months now and I keep thinking it will happen any day. Well, we ate lunch one day and he just cried as he ate because he could feel the tooth "crunching". I remember that feeling....

During naps, I heard him whisper, "Mom". I went over to his bed and he showed me his tooth. He was so excited...I could just sense his self pride! Most of his friends at school have already lost a tooth, and I could tell he was now finally so excited to be like them :)

Here he is later that day at the pool...enjoying life with one less tooth! Greg was teasing him and told him that we needed to make sure the tooth fairy knew where he was...that maybe we should go online and register to make sure they knew we were out of town, and to come see us at Great Wolf Lodge. Well, Max totally went with it and decided he would wait until he was home. So tonight, I brought it up again to see if he wanted to put it in his toothfairy pillow. He started crying...apparently he didn't want the tooth fairy to take his tooth. Don't worry...I wrote the tooth fairy a note asking them to please leave Max's tooth, along with the money :) And the "toothfairy" (ies) were arguing at our house as to whether Max should get a quarter or a dollar. I know kids whose tooth fairies have given them up to $5 per tooth, so I didn't want Max to feel like the toothfairy didn't like him :) I know, it's stupid. As I write it, I realize how stupid it is...gosh why do I worry about such little things?

We had a blast on our trip...got some cute pictures of the boys playing that I will post later. I just didn't want to forget to write down Max's first lost tooth. Love you sweetie!
