Nathan lost it!

Nathan finally lost his first tooth! He was so ready to have that milestone behind him. I mean, really, the kid is going to be a 3rd grader in 3 weeks...it was time!

The tooth was finally loose enough that he came to Chad and let him finish it off. It was a relatively easy process; Chad just pushed it back until it popped. (Such a different experience from getting Daniel's teeth out of his mouth!)

The tooth.

The gap.

(Daniel appears to think this is a picture about him!)

The inspection.

Nathan was very considerate and washed the tooth. After all, the Tooth Fairy doesn't like dirty teeth, does she?

The Tooth Fairy assigned to our family is obviously on a restricted budget. Nathan got a whole quarter for his tooth. I think that's less than I got. (It's certainly not more.) Nathan and Leah had a discussion about what makes the Tooth Fairy pay more. I guess it either depends on the size or the cleanliness...not sure what the final decision was.
