Around the age of two, Thatcher took a really bad fall in our front yard and caught himself using his teeth on the cement. There was a lot of blood and a lot of loose teeth. The dentist said they were either going to fall out OR they could tighten back up. We were lucky because the latter happened.
A few months ago, Thatcher was balancing on a toy truck in the Kids' Club at the gym and he slipped and fell catching himself on a cement floor with his teeth. This time, they aren't tightening up. The first one came out a few weeks ago. :(
I forget where we were coming home from but it had been hanging for several weeks and it finally came out in the car.
Naturally, he is thrilled with losing a tooth and can't stop showing the world.
Samantha didn't lose her first tooth until she was five-years-old and even then it was pulled by the dentist. So her first REAL visit from the Tooth Fairy wasn't until she was SIX! There are actually kids in Sam's first grade class who are seven and haven't even lost a tooth!
We are prepared for more holes in this smile to happen soon as he has at least FIVE more wiggly teeth, top AND bottom.
We need to teach this kid to put his hands out when he falls!
Early morning riser when he knows there is money to be had under his pillow ;)
