Jack's Big Night

Jack had a big night. According to him, he felt the loose tooth, pulled on it and it just came out!
A little bit of blood and a whole lot of pride later, we have a big boy with a missing tooth!

And I missed it.

I found out via text message when I got off my flight to Portland.
And I cried in the airport.

Especially when Jack got on the phone, recounted the events for me, and told me he and Daddy put the tooth in a safe place for when I get home and then we will put it under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy.

I love that sweet boy.
I love his Daddy for trying to make me feel better about missing this big "first."
And many thanks to Julie for calming me down, too.

If I am this emotional over missing his first lost tooth...ugh. I have to get it together.


Here is the proud boy!
(Sorry for the poor quality - cell phone picture!)

Now we have to explain how the Tooth Fairy can't possibly deliver 3000 quarters, as Jack is requesting. I'll let you know how that conversation turns out...
