First Lost Tooth

Thomas has had two permanent lower teeth growing behind his baby teeth and we have been patiently waiting for the baby teeth to get wiggly so we didn't have to have the dentist pull them. One afternoon he said he had a wiggly tooth and within one week he had lost his first tooth!!! Ken tried to pull it, but it didn't work. Thomas asked him to "google" the right way to pull it. The next night, Ken did google it and tried a slip knot using dental floss to get it out. It took only one try and out it flew! Thomas was so excited that the tooth fairy would be visiting our house. He woke up the next morning to find $2 under his pillow. As his mom, I couldn't help but feel a little sad that he lost his tooth. No more little boy smile. I remember he had a 102 fever the day that tooth finally broke through the gum. That was his first tooth and sure enough, it was the first one he lost!
