Both of Josiah's bottom two teeth had been wiggling and we couldn't believe how long they were holding on. Josiah played with them a lot but didn't seem too bothered most of the time. One time he bit into an apple slice and it must have wiggled and he didn't like that. Other than that he's been pretty good about the whole thing. It must be so weird to lose your teeth after having them your whole life.
So yesterday at supper, Len noticed that one of them was gone. He casually said that it was down in the ballpit in the playroom. I started to get excited and wanted to get pictures, but Len told me I was stressing him out and to calm down. Sure enough, he started to cry and wanted to be held. Stuff that is so momentous for us as parents, can be so traumatic for someone like Josiah. So Len went and found the tooth (it is so tiny as he's been grinding since infancy). Before bed he was very excited about putting it into his Hippo Pillow from Grammy.
When Len and I went in to play tooth fairy, the pillow was by his feet... but where was the tooth?? We moved Josiah, his pillow, his bed... and finally found it in the covers. He slept through the whole thing so that's lucky for the tooth fairy. We put a silver dollar in the pillow as that's what the moose gets in his book that we've been reading. Len said he was very excited about the money and put it into his piggy bank. We had debated giving him a candy bar (ironic eh?) to make him more interested, but he seemed excited about just the money so that's a relief.
He's talking a little funny so that's pretty cute. The second one should fall out any moment.
