I think it is so cute when kids are missing their front teeth!! Connor lost the two bottom teeth in the fall, but has been "on hold" with the others. But then one of the front teeth recently started wiggling!! He would push it with his tongue and after weeks, it finally became really loose. One afternoon he and Reid were rough housing, as they always do (mom's with boys can relate!) Then all of a sudden, Connor said, "Hey Reid just kicked me in the mouth and my tooth came out!" Thankfully there were no tears, but rather laughter that the little brother literally kicked out the tooth!

Re-enacting the event!!

The new way for him to drink through a straw.
And because he was an accomplice in helping Connor lose his tooth, the Tooth Fairy left a quarter for Reid under his pillow!
Oddly enough, I remember losing my front tooth when I, too, was in first grade. Jason and I were playing around in Mom and Dad's room, while Dad was watching tv and Mom was ironing (that hasn't changed in 30 years!) My little brother kicked me in the mouth and I felt something on my tongue. I put it on the ironing board and ran back to beat up on Jason some more. I'll never forget Mom saying, "Allison, do you know what this is? It's your tooth!"
So just like Connor, I lost the same top tooth, at the same age and in the same way! Oh those little brothers!!
