Alex lost ANOTHER tooth this morning!!
Last night as I was putting the kids to bed, I was checking out Alex’s newly vacated space from the tooth he lost last Friday. The tooth right next to it was pretty loose. I asked him if I could pull on it.
“Tomorrow, Mom.”
This morning he grabs the Puffs and tells me I have to wait until Alyssa is awake so he doesn’t wake her with his cries of anguish. Awe, isn’t that sweet?! But for some reason it didn’t stop him and his brother from running around screaming earlier.
He must get his OCD from me because it wasn’t long and he said I could try. I learned that it is easier to twist the tooth than to pull it right out so I began twisting. Like before, he kept letting me work on it. About the third time it was barely hanging on. I asked him if he wanted to look at it in the mirror. Before he could walk into the bathroom, he had pulled it out himself.
It wasn’t quite the excitement as the first tooth, but he was happy. It warranted a call to Daddy.
“Dad, do you have any meetings today?”
Tim must have said, “No, why?”
“Because I need your little pillow thing.” Tim has the pillow he used as a kid and that is what we use for the tooth fairy. Alex knows the routine. Too cute!
