(sorry for the play on words in the title – that’s so lame)

Little Man lost his first tooth yesterday during dinner. It had been loose for ages and he wasn’t real keen on wiggling it out so we just let it ride. The last night he’s eating and suddenly proclaims, “My tooth came out!” At that moment the look on his face was priceless. It was like here wanted to jump up and cheer, cry and scream, “WTF!?” all at the same time.

He kind of finished eating and then went to lay down on the Papasan chair and crashed. I’ve never seen a kid have that reaction to loosing a tooth before. I think he was kind of sad in the end. Like part of him fell off or something. To make it worse, he didn’t even get to put it under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy because he crashed early.

Today he seems totally fine with it though and now he’s all excited because tonight he can make the deal with the Tooth Fairy. He’s been trying Since X-mas to save the $10 to download Mario 64 for the Wii. The kid’s obsessed…like ‘for real’ obsessed with getting it. He played it a bunch in the hotel room when we moved and dug it. He beat Mario Sunshine ages ago and Mario Galaxy doesn’t look to be arriving for the Wii anytime soon, so this is probably a good choice for him.

Anyway, he has $7 saved so far – I think this just became a $3 tooth.
