Alex's First Tooth to Come Out

Alex has been quite anxious to lose a tooth. He's been trying to convince himself and us for months that he had a "wiggly tooth." So, on December 2 when I picked him up from school and he told me that he had a wiggly tooth, I did the obligatory check, and, lo and behold, it moved!

We've been tracking his progress, and it had gotten much looser this week, so I knew it was going to happen soon.

This morning, he and I were hanging out, and he calmly announced, "My tooth fell out." After all the anticipation, he was extremely stoic about it. You could tell he was excited, but he was playing it cool. He did, however, have a lot of questions about the Tooth Fairy and was especially concerned about what would happen if she ran out of money.
