Toby Joel lost his first tooth this evening. He let Eli wiggle it and instruct him, and he held perfectly still even when it hurt. (And as he has told us, little things hurt him more because he doesn't know pain like his brothers. So we were pleasantly surprised by the bravery.) Then he let Mommy "check it" five times, and behold - a beautiful, tiny tooth.
The whole way the event unfolded was yet another reminder that this boy of ours is growing up.
And now the tooth fairy needs to go a-tooth-huntin'. Because in all honesty that first-tooth dollar was a huge motivator in seeing this tooth out, for the Tobester has been calculating and saving for Legos since Christmas time.
Way to go Toby. We are proud of you!!!
