Losing Teeth

First grade is prime time for losing teeth. Most of H's classmates are up to 3 or 4 already. He and one other boy in his class were the last to lose one. And it really bummed him out. (They are also the shortest ... for now). About a month ago, one of H's baby teeth started getting really loose. And today, it finally came out. He said he twisted it, and pulled it. He grossed everyone out when it started bleeding. I think it was the entertainment for the day in his classroom. H couldn't be more thrilled. He even got to go to the nurse's room and get his tooth-shaped tooth carrier to bring it home. We'll have to see if the Tooth Fairy pays him a visit tonight!

Horray! How much did the TF bring?

$5 -- I hear that's the going rate. Although, H said another friend got a quarter and racing car, and I think secretly his was wishing for that.

FIVE BUCKS! I think I got a quarter for each tooth when I was a kid. That H is a lucky duck!
