Just Like That

After a month of wiggling his first loose tooth, he pulled it out tonight.  Just like that.  He was so stinkin' proud of himself.  He called the neighbors, his grandma, his dad and left messages for anyone who wasn't home.  He ran down the lane and showed the elders of Johns Street the hole in his head!  He was brimming with exuberance and could barely contain himself.  He oozed self-confidence.  He did it all by himself.

His wheels were turning and trying to figure out this Tooth Fairy thing.  I told him to put his sweet little tooth in a small container and put it under his pillow.  He found a small Altoids tin and did just that.  He was hoping for money or a toy.  Toy?  When did that start?  Anyhow, he did receive a big fat one dollar bill and that is only because it was his first tooth.

Oh, turns out Steve is the tooth fairy.  Who knew?
