A new window

Dear Jonah,
Well Tuesday (4-6-10) you lost your first tooth!!! I can't believe it. You lost it during soccer practice. Just before soccer practice I checked to see how wiggly it was. It was my daily ritual to see the progression of how loose your tooth got. At first you thought me doing this was cool but after the first week it got tiresome and you would complain of me doing it. But on that Tuesday I remember thinking, oh, it's gonna be soon. I wasn't at practice because I was doing some errands for your aunt and dad told me that you and a team member were both trying to get the ball and ya'll bumped into each other and poof out came your tooth :)! You cried for a while and because it wasn't totally ready it bled a little which probably caused the crying. During all this commotion you had spit out your tooth and even though you and dad searched the grass for it, your tooth was no where to be found! You assured me that you didn't swallow it and therefore I'm taking your word for that because if a piece of gum takes 7 years to digest, there is no telling how long a tooth takes!
We assured you that the tooth fairy would still come even without your tooth to put under the pillow and the first thing you did when you woke up was run to your room (yes during the night you had come into our room, like always to sleep with us) and check under your pillow and what did you find?? Two dollars. You were so happy. I love to look at the spot where your tooth was. Every day I make you smile at me so I can see it. You're getting to be such a big boy, growing up too fast for me. Sometimes I wish you and your sister would stay little forever...

Love you always and forever,
Mommy
