Yep! My little boy’s first loose tooth fell out today, with none of the trauma or extended wiggling I remember from my loose-tooth-days. We were riding in the van up to a bigger mall (with a real game store) about an hour away. Somewhere along the highway, he called out, “Hey! My tooth!” and I turned around to see a gap in his smile and a tooth in his hand. He was SO EXCITED about this - he clearly sees it as an important rite of passage, making him a Big Boy. He called my dad right away from my cell phone, and told him all about it, including, “And I’m going to get a really great present from the Tooth Fairy!” Gulp. Well, in Franklin and the Tooth Fairy they get books, so I found a great new book for him at Border’s. I’d also always planned on giving each child one of my grandparents’ stash of silver dollars for each tooth, so that will be there too.
