And a little bit of Fairy Dust!

Meet the new smile on my favorite little 5 year old. 

We went to get Landon's haircut and as I was paying he walks up to me an says "my tooth is gone!"

I saw a mouth full of blood and essentially started to panic.

He had been telling me his tooth was loose.  But, when he would tell me which one it was and I would try to check. But,  I was wiggling the wrong tooth!! Plus, I didn't really believe him. I thought he was too young.  I'm not sure why since there is a big tooth with kids' names on it in his classroom.

So after we picked up the tooth from the floor we went to the bookstore and bought a book about losing your tooth. 

We go home and Landon rings the doorbell and Carlos and Ryker answer it.  Landon asks for Carlos to read it to him because he's lost this 1st tooth and below is his reaction! Priceless!

So, after riding his scooter outside waiting for the neighborhood kids to come out so he could "share the good news"...we put the tooth in a little red bag and put it under his pillow.

The tooth fairy sprinkle a little bit ...okay a LOT of fairy dust on his head. (And a week later?...I think it's still stuck to his scalp!

How is it that a missing tooth can make you look SO much older!?!
