The Tooth Fairy

Preston lost his very first tooth last night. It was a very exciting time in the Shoats house! He came to me with his tooth half out and sideways and said, "Can you pull this out Mama?" It was easy at that point to reach in and snatch it out. Here he is in this mighty proud moment. 

Preston asked me to write a note to the Tooth Fairy asking her to leave the tooth. (He saw that story line on an episode of Super Why.) When asked why he want to save his tooth, he said, "So I can show all my friends, my teacher, Uma and Papa." Bragging rights I guess.

Here is the letter and the tooth. It's hard to believe that tooth had been in his mouth for 5 years! Where has the time gone? His other bottom tooth is loose as is one on the top. And so it begins... 

For those wondering... yes- the Tooth Fairy was good to him :) 

More adventures to come...
