This afternoon he burst out of the school doors, greeting me with a running hug and a wide-mouthed grin. Before I could figure out why I got such a warm welcome, Zachary jumped up and down, pointing to the new gap in his smile. How could I miss the message?
I tucked a plastic baggie in Zach's pocket this morning so he would be prepared when his dangling, skewampus tooth fell out at school. Zach said he wiggled the tooth with his tongue all day long and it finally came out after lunch while his class was rehearing its "Three Piggy Opera" in the cafeteria. The baggie came in handy; he zipped up his tooth and kept on rehearsing!
Now Zach is anxious to sleep on his pillow and discover a surprise from the Tooth Fairy in the morning. Hopefully she remembers to visit our house!

Congratulations, Zach. Way to handle it all by yourself! Hope the tooth fairy comes to see you while you are sleeping.
Way to go Zach! I loved it when my teeth came out and the tooth fairy visited me. I loved hearing about school. Did you know that Grandma was in her science class tonight and we just finished talking about what plants need to live? We talked about the same things in school. Awesome!
That is awesome! Woohoo!
I don't get it. Your kid will wiggle his tooth all day. I did that, the kids I grew up with did that. My kids...just let the thing sit there all weird for weeks! Crazy.
