Ryan's Tooth

Ryan lost his first yesterday. We were in the car when he announced "My tooth is half un-tached!" Not 20 minutes later he yelled "My tooth came out! Here it is!" and promptly dropped it in the car where it immediately disappeared. We stopped the car and spent 30 minutes trying to find the tooth but could not. We assured him that all was well and that the Tooth Fairy would bring a dollar even if there was no tooth under his pillow. Ethan was so sweet. He reassured Ryan that the Tooth Fairy would come and even offered to help write a note explaining the situation to said fairy.

He is so cute with the little gap in his mouth. He lost the left bottom front one, so it's not incredibly visible, but when he smiles one of his really big smiles you can see it. Mimi and Ba went to the bookstore to get him a tooth fairy book, but, alas, none of them had little tooth pouches like the one we got for Ethan. No matter, we got a Charlie and Lola book in which Lola's tooth both falls out and is promptly lost, just like Ryan's. The Tooth Fairy brought Lola a coin, and this morning there was a dollar under Ryan's pillow.

So, Ryan has one less baby tooth, but one more dollar, and he is glad that he can once again eat whatever wants with having to be careful of a loose tooth.

I love little gappy mouths! Glad he took the lost tooth in stride. I remember doing that as a kid and being really upset!
