Joe's first tooth loss


Joe FINALLY lost a tooth. He has been begging dad to pull one out for about a year now. One was loose, (I think a couple more might be) and it was extracted!! Oddly enough Joe insisted on keeping it to show his teacher and all his friends, instead of getting money from the TOOTH FAIRY! (Something I have been looking forward to doing!) Joe told me he wants to keep all his teeth and give them to the tooth fairy all at once, to receive a bigger cash reward in the end. For some reason we were talking about it in the car, and an instant childhood memory popped into my head and I had to explain to him what my mom always told me, which is that the tooth fairy needs your teeth to put in new born babies mouths so they can grow teeth! This didn't work either. Long story short, tooth is now lost, we think in the couch somewhere.

thats sort of gross but brilliant that he would want to collect them to get his money all at once!

My two boys just both had their first tooth loss yesterday. They were totally shocked and afraid that their teeth will never come back again. But I assured them that it will definitely come back in time. Because they want to be assured, we went to a dentist office in Myrtle Beach. Dentists in that area are funny and very accommodating. They also assured my sons regarding their teeth. Now, they are relieved and confident enough to show their smile to everyone.
