So a few weeks ago Micah got a loose tooth. It scared me. But as it continued to just harmlessly sit askew in his lower jaw, I gradually got used to the idea that it was happening and there was nothing that I could do about it. On occasion I would check to see if it was still there, and if it was causing problems. It was. And it wasn't. So I continued to leave it alone.
And then over the weekend Becky asked when Micah's tooth fell out. So we tracked him down, and asked him to see inside his mouth, and sure enough the tooth was gone. All that worry for nothing.
And yet another milestone that I missed. The entry in the non-existent baby book would read something like this:
First Lost Tooth: Sometime in May, 2010. Probably the weekend of Memorial Day. Not a clue where it is. Or when it fell out. Or even if he was aware of it happening. He may or may not poop it out in the future. We may or may not ever know if he did. Bottom right front.
I'm just really glad that he's clueless about the Tooth Fairy's existence. How would one handle that little dilemma?

I so need to make that book. But hey - better than Mister Man's experience of having the other teeth grow in behind the loose tooth and Daddy yanking it out with a bloody mess left behind. Be grateful for small favors?
Big milestone! Max (nor Sam) have lost a tooth yet. And yes, Max will soon be 9!!
Glad to know it wasn't big issues for him. I worry about that too.
Wow - Micah's first lost tooth. A real milestone!
oh we are anxiously awaiting the loss of the first tooth. it's all the rage with PK's older friends right now....
WooHoo for Micah!
Yay you survived the first lost tooth! :) Don't feel bad, I was out the night Kayla had lost hers and I thought my mom was going to put the money under the pillow, but she didn't because she thought I was lol. Oh well...there is always the next tooth!
At Peanut's last dentist appt. the dentist mentioned she had a slightly loose tooth. I have been dreading this as well. I hate the whole tooth thing, but the older girls take care of their own. I have to idea what I will do with Peanut. I hope it goes as easily as it did with Micah. And truth be told, if I don't have to mess with the tooth fairy thing, I won't mind a bit!
