Lincoln Loses a Tooth!

Losing a first tooth is a pretty big deal at our house.  I am sure the same feelings accompany it the first time shaving or driving.  It means...getting older and to my boys, that is very cool (not so much to me :)  Lincoln lost his first tooth last week and it was pretty awesome.  It got pretty loose so he finally let Josh pull it (not something I could do...even Josh struggled with it a bit.)  Another tooth was already growing in behind it.  Our boys don't seem to want to help their teeth fall out at all so there is usually a crooked little adult tooth lurking behind the tooth that falls out. 

Lincoln had left this cute little note for the Tooth Fairy.  He wanted to to keep his tooth and I was sure she wouldn't mind (what is she going to do with it?)  He was so thoughtful to even leave a spot on the note where the Tooth Fairy could answer him.

And answer him she did.  There was even all sorts of glittery fairy dust (or glitter glue...) around her answer.

I found these great little Tooth Fairy Kits long ago and loved them so much.  They are letter pressed and I think so adorable.  They come with a bag for the kids to put their teeth in for all of those that fall out later. 

You can see on his bottom row of teeth where he lost his tooth.  He thought it was all pretty great!
