Solomon lost his first tooth today. We went to the dentist together just a week ago? Really???? She pointed out the loose tooth. I had just checked his teeth for him like a week earlier and didn't feel any loose ones, so I was a bit surprised. I looked up on-line how long it might take for the tooth to fall out and thought we might have awhile but it went really fast! We got a little bag made yesterday, I prepared a little bag for him to sew up the sides of, he used a sharp needle and everything and did a great job. Just in time too! We were sitting on the couch reading books, when he picked something out of his mouth and held his hand out to show me. I'm so glad he didn't swallow it.
So we are rushing about the house looking for something for the tooth fairy to leave him. He seems determined to believe in the tooth fairy, so we're going with it. He asked Jon point blank if the tooth fairy was real and Jon said, "no". He went on to say if he wanted to pretend he/she was real he should and he has, so we are pretending.
Now I'm wondering what to do with the teeth? It seems wrong to just throw them out. I found this on-line: http://www.babytoothalbum.com/
I'm just trying to decide if I really want to keep them all. Will they rot, start to smell? Is it creepy and weird of me to want to keep his baby teeth?
