Finally

Domino lost his first tooth today. Oh the drama!! It was loose for about 2 weeks with it really becoming dangly within the last 48 hours.

We went to the dentist today for our routine cleaning. The dentist was very gentle to Dom's feelings and mouth and said the tooth would come out on it's own.

Sure enough - went to lunch and out it came. Tears followed, the vow to never lose another tooth, a fear of the tooth fairy was revealed and the refusal to eat ever again. The waitress came over to see if everything was ok and Domino was sobbing uncontrollably.

He wasn't exactly eager to pose for a photo about a half hour later in the car.


I understand that the legend of the Tooth Fairy has potentially been spoiled by a classmate in kindergarten last year (what the hell?!) but we're hoping to have a good night tonight with stories of fairies and lucky coins.

He already looks like a different kid without that tooth. I can't imagine how different he'll look without the 2 top ones!
