Toothless

This tooth took two weeks of intense wiggling, at least 10 failed pulling attempts, one threatened dentist appointment, one googled picture of rotten teeth, and lastly a expertly executed plier-pull by mom. The tooth fairy dropped 5 bones for effort.

Tooth Fairy

More than...

birthday number 5 

starting kindergarten

moving from scooby doo briefs to boxer briefs

growing his hair "long like Brennans" 

asking how babies get into a mommy's tummy

this one little baby tooth somehow says "i'm growing up" more than all of those things. 

wow, this is going fast.
