Cody lost his first tooth on March 15th, 2010! He is 5 yrs 4 mos old right now, and he got his first tooth way back when he was 4 mos old. So he's right on track to lose 'em following the timeline of when he got 'em!
He first noticed the tooth was wiggly about a week ago, and he was VERY upset. A piece of his body was falling out! That's scary! But we talked a lot about it, Jackson reassured him since he's gone through it the most recently, and we even read some fun books about the Tooth Fairy.
(His absolute favorite was "
Dear Tooth Fairy," which is about a little girl who won't give up her newly lost tooth without some convincing, via notes and letters, from the Tooth Fairy. There are little envelopes inside containing actual little letters, and the final envelope even contains a real fairy coin! Cody thought that was the coolest thing.)
Cody also got very excited about having his very own Tooth Fairy pillow. We ordered it about a week ago (the day we discovered the tooth was loose...bad mommy! With Jackson, I had his pillow ready to go months before the tooth even began to wiggle.). Cody was so very excited to have his own pillow with a pattern he picked (footballs? That was a surprise...I figured he'd go for camo.) and with his very own name on it!
Here's the little tiny tooth before we put it into the pocket of the pillow to keep it safe for the Tooth Fairy. How could it be so small??
Then Cody tucked the pillow under his real pillow and went to sleep, anxious to see what the Tooth Fairy would leave him overnight.
Well, she prepared a special gold dollar and sprinkled it with fairy dust!
Yay Cody! It's hard to believe you're old enough to lose a tooth!
