My baby boy is growing up...

...sniff, sniff. :(
Another rite of passage is upon us. Adam has lost his first tooth. I should be used to these milestones by now, but losing teeth is a hard one for me. Once they start losing them, their little smiles are never the same again. Of course they eventually evolve into cute grown up smiles (after a lot expensive orthodontic work), but there's just something about those cute little baby teeth smiles that melts my heart. Good thing Ellie has a few more years! °Ü°

By the way....what does the tooth fairy leave for teeth at your house? I'm thinking our tooth fairy might be a little too generous with the $3 prize and I might need to leave him (oops...I mean her) a note about that.

  1. The first tooth is a golden dollar.

    After that, it's whatever loose change the tooth fairy can find in the couch.

  2. Adam, tell your mom and dad that the first tooth is now worth $10 and all the rest $1 each.

    Your mom used to get $0.50 when she was your age, but that was a long time ago. After you add inflation-$10 is about right.

    By the way, you are very handsome!

    Love, Grandma-Grandpa

  4. Our tooth fairy is international and leaves money from whatever country she most recently visited. The first time, she usually leaves several coins and/or dollars from one country. On later trips, she'll just leave one. It's fun figuring out where she's been!
