Lost Tooth

After more than a month of wiggling his first loose tooth, Isaac finally lost it while swimming in the pool. He jumped into the pool and came flying out of the water with blood running down his face and holding the tooth triumphantly in his hand. He excitedly yelled that “it just fell out” without his doing anything. I think he was a bit shocked and thrilled at the same time and was not quite sure what to do with all the blood.

When Paul came home from school, Isaac just kept smiling at him trying to get him to notice while he walked across the street from our house to the pool. He was beside himself with trying to not spill the beans before Paul saw the hole in his smile.

That night before he went to bed, Isaac wrote a note to the tooth fairy, stuck his tooth in the envelope and slid it under his pillow. The note said, “Der tooth faIry, this is my First tooth. Love Isaac.”

He was beyond pumped to find a dollar instead of his tooth in the envelope the next morning!
