Further to my previous post about being present and in the moment.... that is why I am blogging about this event nearly 5 days after it happened. Nonetheless, Cameron finally lost his 1st tooth!! He has been waiting and waiting and wiggling imaginary loose teeth for months now. And it seems all his mates have lost atleast 3 by now!
The most surprising thing about the whole event was that he didn't swallow the tooth considering he rolled into our room at 12:30 am on Monday night (well Tuesday, really) exclaiming that it had come out. I was also glad that ages ago I had bought him a cute little container for when the big event would occur, as I couldn't come up with the ideal "tooth holding" mechanism in my half asleep state. He knew right where that little container was and Baby Tooth Number 1 had a sweet safe resting spot for the night. Until the tooth fairy was beckoned the next night. The morning after her arrival, the little gap smile looked and said, "I knew I'd get a dollar."
My big boy, so handsome. And now just wicked cute with that first little gap. Too bad his neurotic mother is already stressed thinking that the tooth coming in seems all crooked and crazy (sigh).But since this is our first tooth losing experience as parents, I feel compelled to ask - what to do with the tooth now? Am I supposed to keep it? Keep the first one? They go in the garbage right? I guess between the 2 of them and 26 baby teeth (if that is the right number), I'll have it sorted out sometime soon - without the help of "The Rock", thank you very much!
