A Momentous Day

Yesterday was a big day in the life of Noah. He FINALLY lost his first tooth. He has been waiting for this momentous occasion for a long time. For a few years, he has watched Andrew lose teeth and has always been jealous of the money the Tooth Fairy has brought Andrew.

So, yesterday, after 4 or 5 days of wiggling his tooth, he asked me to pull it out. It was definitely ready to come out. This morning, Noah woke up to $5 under his pillow. He woke me up by showing me his prize. The Tooth Fairy doesn't usually bring this much money, but for the first tooth, she spoils them a bit. He has been carrying his money around all morning, just waiting for his opportunity to spend it. I love his new toothless grin! I'm getting a little sad though. My kids keep growing up, and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

Congratulations to Noah! I wonder if the tooth fairy visits old people whose teeth are falling out?

So cute! The tooth fairy spoils our kids for the first tooth. We tell them the first tooth is more valuable to her, so she pays more for it. =)

Hmm... I need money... and $5 a tooth isn't half bad.

Wow! That's a pretty generous tooth fairy. I remember getting quarters. Congrats Noah!

oh yes, the first tooth. hopefully you are better at keeping the toothfairy alive better than we did. Julie pinned Dave as the toothfairy for tooth #1 so we haven't really been able to ride that train yet. Hopefully with Megan. Hey, I am totally up for Thanksgiving Point. Let me know the next time you go we'll have to meet up. The Petersons got a pass this year too.

I love that cute little toothless smile! He looked especially cute with pine sap on his little face up at Willow Flat! I hope that wasn't too difficult to get off! We sure had fun!

Man, inflation has struck the tooth fairy, too! Kurt better get a raise before our kids start losing teeth. I guess we have a few years... SUCH a cute picture of him though!!
