{In Search of The Lost Tooth}

At school yesterday Reed lost his front tooth

and

swallowed it.

He was really insistent that we search his poo for it.

After a long talk about how the Tooth Fairy really doesn't want dirty teeth...

Me: Well honey, how would we get it out?

Reed: We'll just use a couple of sticks.

upon hearing that Fiona ran and got a pair of sticks.

{mind you we are about to use a public toilet}

With Fiona armed with "tooth retrieval tools" in we went.

Every couple of seconds she'd yell into Reed's stall, "How's everything going in there?"

He was VERY annoyed by this.

Then I heard the flush.

He was over it.

For the first time ever I was grateful for sibling rivalry.

Reed and his teacher wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy explaining the whole situation.

  Apparently the Tooth Fairy was understanding and still left a two dollar coin.

She's good like that.

Gotta love that gap

A huge congratulations to my little man!
You are growing up too quickly dude.
