Growing up is hard to do!

Coop's had a loose tooth for months now!  One morning on the way to school while eating a strawberry out it fell.  He was so excited, we all were so excited for this milestone in his life!  I pulled over on a dead end street and took his picture and calmed him when he realized it was bleeding just a tiny bit.  Then when we were "handing the tooth over" out is bounced of my hand, onto the step of the car, and into the street.  Ugh... I felt HORRIBLE!  I couldn't find the tooth.  I looked for 15 minutes, it was just too small.  Coop was not upset, and took the news like a champ.  He was more excited about getting to school to show his friends the new hole in his mouth! 


I was able to let him know about the tooth fairy's magic tool that helps her find teeth.  So he wasn't concerned that the tooth fairy wouldn't find the tooth.

The next morning under his pillow was the tooth fairy's gift.  $5!!!  He was excited and wanted to spend it as soon as possible.  After school we headed to Wal-Mart where he bought 5 new cars! The tooth right next to the one that fell out is pretty loose, so I would think in the next month or so we'll have another crack at the tooth fairy!
