Another (Unexpected) Tooth Fairy Visit

The other day Ryan randomly mentioned he had a loose tooth. Considering the Brooke just lost one, we figured he was just copying. But, insisted it was loose ... and sure enough, it was. Thing is, 3 year old kids very rarely lose a tooth. Thus, it was pretty obvious something happened to knock it loose.

I brought him into the dentist and they informed me it was definitely a trauma. He fell out of his bed, HARD, last night. I asked if that did it and she seemed to think that was unlikely. So, Ryan mysteriously got his tooth knocked out. The dentist suggested we pull it to avoid any complications from him losing it and breathing it in or swallowing it. We put him on the gas and it was out in less than a minute :) Now we have to wait TWO YEARS for something to come in to fill the gap. That's a lot of goofy pictures.

Here is, right after the dentist. He's quite proud he lost his first tooth.


At night the Tooth Fairy had to scramble. She wasn't anticipating another lost tooth in our house so soon. Brooke also was not anticipating another lost tooth. She was very upset that her brother lost one, especially so soon after her highly anticipated and celebrated first tooth. "Real" or not, we celebrated it just the same. Ryan put his tooth on the nightstand next for the Fairy to come and add to her collection!
