My little Max lost his first tooth last weekend. He has been waiting for this a long time and was so proud. He is reportedly the last one in his first grade class to loose a tooth. Most of his classmates lost thier first one last year in Kindergarten. In fact he wanted it to happent so bad that he kept knocking his teeth on things on purpose, softly of course so it didn't hurt. I remember doing that as a kid. Mine came out really late also. Poor kid.
Yes the toothfairy came. Max asked me during the day when he lost it, how much the tooth fairy would bring him. He thought that the first tooth must be worth more than the rest so he wondered if he would get $500 dollars for it. I told him no, that the tooth fairy had a lot of kids to give to, each kid had a lot of teeth in thier mouth so that added up to a lot of money for the tooth fairy. She has to make sure she has enought for all the kids. He seemed to accept that well, since it made sense to him. And yes, he actually believes in the tooth fairy and it wasn't an actual ploy to get more money out of his parents.
Max explained to Sam that the tooth fairy paid to get your tooth since she collects them. He wondered what she did with them. He thought she made things with them like maybe she puts them in a pencil sharpener and makes them sharp so that they are made into needles to sew. Jason said that she grinds them up into a powder and makes calcium supplements with them. Yeah, Max liked that idea that she made medicine out of them. Anyway, it has been fun for everyone. I just thought that my kids couldn't get any cuter, but what is cuter than a kid smiling with a tooth missing? Hugh? Adorable.
