1st tooth fairy visit

For the last week and a half, Gordy has been working on his wiggly tooth.  He's been asking for carrots and apples in his lunch, he's been rocking it back and forth and twisting it side to side.  Finally, last night at dinner, he'd had enough of it, so he gave it a solid twist and then proudly held out his prize and smiled a holey smile.

Even though it was statehood day and Todd was pretty sure that the tooth fairy didn't work on holidays, Gordy packaged up his tooth in his tooth fairy bag and gently hid it under his pillow.

And thankfully, the tooth fairy does work on holidays, so Gordy woke up to a crisp $2 bill and tiny note from his fairy.  His second wiggly tooth is already here, so get ready tooth fairy!

At Gordy's dentist appointment after he made 6, the dentist told him that he should expect to start losing teeth soon because most kids started losing teeth at 6 or 7.  And then, for the last 2 years, he has watched everyone in his grade lose teeth while his stayed firmly cemented in his mouth.  He even started questioning whether or not he had grown up teeth under his gums at all... until now.  We have a wiggler - bottom front left!
