Riley lost his 1st tooth today!
It had been loose for almost 2 weeks and the anticipation had been growing especially since the older kids had told him all about the tooth fairy and how exciting it is to lose teeth.
Everyone was full of advice...Hayley told Riley just to keep wiggling his tooth and the boys said the best way was just to pull it out and both Connor and Zack offered on several occasions to do the honor or "yanking it out" for Riley.
This morning he was eating a bagel and came running over saying "my tooth is gone" I looked and it was sideways but still hanging on my a little piece. His mouth all full of bagel still I told him to be careful he didn't want to swallow it.
He finished his piece of bagel and played with the tooth with his napkin. Then it happened! He shouted "my tooth came out" Holding it out in his napkin to show me. Suddenly it hit him ~~ his tooth fell out!!! His face filled with shock. In a panic stricken voice he asked "do I have to go to the doctor?" I said no and he was a little relieved, but still a bit shocked by the whole experience.
We put it in a baggie to show daddy....
After dinner I asked where Riley's tooth was; it was on the table before dinner, then Zack cleared the table for dinner. Zack argued it was not on the table and the only thing on the table was an empty baggie. I became worried as we looked everywhere and I was pretty certain Zack threw it out. Riley would not take this well.
I made Zack put on rubber gloves and pick through the garbage to find the tooth. All the while Zack insisted the tooth was not in the garbage and said "what's the big deal it's only a tooth" Only a tooth?!?! Seriously, you tell the 6 year old he won't get a visit from the tooth fairy but that's ok it's no big deal!
Needless the say we found the tooth in the garbage...put it in a new baggie and off Riley went to bed with his first lost tooth tucked safely under his pillow!
