Frankie has had a loose tooth for about a week now and he's been wiggling it around with his tongue. At lunch yesterday he bit into his turkey sandwich and said, "Mom, there's red stuff in my sandwich." I realized it was blood and told him to open his mouth but I didn't see his tooth. I was a little concerned that he might have swallowed it. I picked up his sandwich and found it stuck in the bread. Luckily it was quick and painless. He didn't even notice it. He was a little shaken up afterwards and said his tummy hurt and he needed to lay down on the couch for a little while. I think he was just anxious because he didn't expect it to happen that way and he didn't know what would happen now that he has a big hole in his mouth. He was very excited about the tooth fairy though. He carefully tucked his tooth into the little pillow and dreamed of what the tooth fairy might leave him. This morning he greeted me saying "Cha-ching, cha-ching," proudly showing off his crisp new dollar bill.
The gap
Safely tucking it away
Ready to go for the tooth fairy
Let's see what happens
