Seen.By.Ice.Queen: coming to my senses

I wrote about taking my son to watch The Tooth Fairy three years back and now, he is coming 'face-to-face' with THE Tooth Fairy.

For some weeks now, my six year old has been dealing with the emerging adult teeth and two wobbly milk teeth. At a recent visit to the wonderful dentist at White Dental Group, the nice pediatric dentist told my son that she will task him with the homework of wobbling and eventually extracting his own teeth.

So for the past week or so, he has been religiously doing his 'homework' after brushing his teeth every morning and night. Tonight while supervising his brushing, I noticed that one of his wobbly tooth was hanging by literally just a 'thread' and so ready to come off. So I encouraged him to try and yank it off. The brave little dude took the handkerchief from me for better grip on the tooth and did just that! Before I even realized, he was holding on to this tooth going, "see mom, it came out!"

I was so excited it was almost as if I was the one losing the first tooth. After I calmed down from my excitement, my six year old said he wanted to write a note to the tooth fairy so she knows exactly where to find his tooth and what to do with it.

So here goes the note...

Aww.. My brave little man. And I'd better go dig up that dollar coin that the 'tooth fairy' is supposed to give him before I forget :P
