Bennett finally lost his first tooth. I basically had to trick him into letting me yank the thing out. A new tooth is halfway grown in behind it. Oh boy. Orthodontics, here we come. But he was really, really excited. A little freaked out by the blood... guess I forgot to mention that part of it to him. The tooth fairy gave him $5! Man, she pays a lot better than she did when I was a kid! But she told him it was only because this was his first tooth, and because it took so long for him to lose one! She let him keep the tooth, because he had placed his new metal handcuffs over the tooth with a note that read, "DON'T TAKE IT!" So she left his tooth alone, and left his money on the Christmas tree instead.

Oh, Hallee will be SO jealous! I think she is the only kid in first grade that HASN'T lost a tooth yet. She keeps asking and checking daily to see if one starts to give a little. No such luck.
Coleman lost his front tooth last week and every time he smiles, i do too. Funny story: the tooth fairy one time left my neice $16! It was dark and she was sleepy and left a 10, a 5 and a 1 instead of the three 1's that she thought she was leaving, so $5 seems reasonable.
