I'm feeling like a bad mommy for not blogging this sooner but my little Gabe lost his first tooth last Sunday (7/27/08) while drinking a cup of milk. We had been telling him all day long that he just needed to give his tooth a little tug and it would come out but he did not want to do it. Not even Pappy could convince him otherwise. After dinner with Grandma & Pappy we came home and sure enough, that tooth popped right out on it's own and landed on his shirt. He was so excited. We put the tooth in water until bedtime and then into a plastic baggie and under the pillow. The magical tooth fairy came and left him a nice crispy one dollar bill. I was up before him the next morning (which doesn't usually happen) and he came out of his room and said, "Hey mom, you gotta see this!" I said, "What is it?" to which he replied, "The tooth fairy came and used magic to put a one dollar under my pillow and I saw her" (uh oh thoughts were swirling through my head because he did stir a little when the "tooth fairy" did the switcheroo). I asked him what she looked like and he said, "I don't know I was asleep but I saw her use magic" (whew)!
