The Missing Tooth

We were having dinner one night when Jordan says "McKay is missing a tooth" to which I responded, "He is not." Jordan was the one with a missing tooth and McKay was not even 5 yet. So I stood up and went to his chair to see what these kids were talking about. When I looked in his mouth, there was no tooth. I asked him where he lost his tooth at and he did not know. I asked if his tooth was loose and he did not know. My first child to lose a tooth and we don't even have the evidence of it. So that night we wrote a letter to the tooth fairy so that McKay could still get the loot that he deserved for his missing tooth. I was sadly aware that we were entering the next stage of childhood.

Congratulations! Those are fun times. I remember after Kaylee lost her first tooth, the rest just kept on coming! It was like something was triggered that it was time for her to loose all her teeth! There will be plenty of other opportunities for him to find the evidence! :)

Natalie swallowed a tooth once and we had to write the tooth fairy and note too....it must happen a lot because she still delivered!

I love the new background-(maybe I will get a lesson from you someday on how you get it there!) And I love the family pic at the top. Great picture!
