Colin's TOOTH!

Colin lost a tooth! Colin lost a tooth! Colin lost a tooth! Finally.

Seriously. This kid has been waiting since the first day of first grade last year...when he first saw the blasted "tooth chart" on the wall. Every single kid in his class made that stupid chart last year---some with their second or third lost teeth! It all went down with very little fanfare. Grandad came over & pulled it. Colin was a little shocked, though, because he just kinda thought he was gonna take a look in there, and then all of a sudden---it was in his hand!!

We laughed the next day because Colin came down to our bed with his bag of loot & the card from the tooth fairy in his hands--still unopened. He had a kinda dazed look on his face, mostly because while he was pretty sure that the whole "fairy" thing wasn't really real...how the HECK was he supposed to explain the M&M's and the money. And, ummmm....where'd my tooth go? Sydney, on the other hand, would have had everything ripped open, eaten, and would be standing over us with a pair of pliers to see if we could maybe figure out how to get her some more money under her pillow??

Congrats, buddy!!
