Last night, while brushing Kyle’s teeth (because an adult must assist him or he’ll brush perhaps two teeth) I noticed that a brand new tooth is growing into a space on his lower jaw, inside the baby tooth. I poked at the baby tooth. It was loose! And so was the one next to it.
When I exclaimed “You have two loose teeth!” the look of pride and pleasure in his eyes was unmistakable. He is excited about experiencing this rite of passage the way his friends in Kindergarten have been. He wants to see what the tooth fairy will bring. He is ready.
But I’m not.



you have NO idea how soon “soon” is. enjoy it while you can.
Wasn’t he just a cute little butter ball of baby?????
Jackson is ready for a loose tooth. I am not. A vast majority of his friends have lost at least one. Congratulations to Kyle!!!
