Losing a Tooth

My sweet M lost his FIRST tooth! He was so excited and glad to have it out because it was hanging on by a thread!  We don't pull teeth...we just let them come out on their own.  (That was also my cardinal rule as a first grade teacher...I don't pull teeth because I'm not a dentist!)

He got to put his tooth in the special tooth fairy pillow, but he felt that she also needed a special note. He distinctly remembered that his big brother B got $5.00 for his first tooth so he wanted to ensure that he got the same special treatment.

Here is his note:

It says "first tooth" M.


And here is M without his tooth!  He is getting so big...and of course, he was so excited to get $5.00 from the tooth fairy.  Luckily, they all know that after the first tooth, they only get $1.00 for each tooth.  Otherwise, that would be a very broke tooth fairy!
