one down, nineteen to go

after spending a week trying to convince brenner to let me pull his front tooth, he goes to dinner with his father for a few hours and bam, his tooth falls out while drinking water and swallows the darn thing. bren was so upset and thought the tooth fairy wouldn't come, so he wrote her a note: "i swallowed my tooth on accident". he folded it nicely and placed it in his special tooth fairy pillow before going to bed.

this morning he scurried into the kitchen while i was making lunches to inform me the tooth fairy did indeed come and left him money in exchange for the note. he just couldn't believe it!

during our commute this morning he asked, quite serious, the following questions:

brenner: "mom, do you think my tooth is still in my tummy?

me: "um, i'm not sure, maybe."

brenner: "well, how is it going to get out?"

me: "um....well...you'll poop it out."

brenner: "oh, but won't that hurt me?"

me: "nope."

brenner: "so, will i be able to see it?"

me: "probably not, and please don't go looking!"

i digressed...

without further ado, my toothless child...
