Hayden's First Loose Tooth

Memorial Day weekend ended up being significant for Hayden because that's when his bottom middle tooth first became loose. He was playing in the bathtub, and suddenly I heard him start crying. He said that his tooth was hurting and starting to wiggle. I explained to him that this was an exciting moment and how big he's getting if he's starting to lose his teeth. Then I said that after bathtime I had a special book to give him that would help him feel better about his loose tooth.
Once Hayden's bath was over, we sat down and read, "The Night Before the Toothfairy." After the story, he was pretty excited about loosing his tooth and exchanging it for money from the toothfairy. Shortly afterwards, he admited that he was too afraid to tell me that he thought he "broke" his tooth in the bath. I guess he had a toy cannon in his mouth (I know, makes you wonder what kind of bath toys I let the kiddo have) and he kept pulling it out as fast as he could. Hayden probably helped loosed up the tooth more than it already was by doing this, but regardless of this incident, that tooth was going to come out eventually.
And it did! The following Sunday his tooth came out (however, I think Hayden might have been wiggling it right before). He was super excited to put it under his pillow in hope that the toothfairy would leave him some money. Now Hayden did have some pretty unreal expectations in regards to how much money the toothfairy would give him (sorry hun, but the toothfairy can't afford to leave you $50 or $100).
Luckily, the following morning Hayden was pretty happy with finding a dollar bill. Way to go on loosing your first tooth before kindergarten, Hayden!
