Shortly after Landon turned 5, he started to complain that his bottom teeth were hurting. Well, of course, we headed straight to the dentist (not even thinking he could possibly have wiggly teeth at 5 years old!?!). To my surprise, an x-ray showed two adult teeth starting to come up. Over the next couple of weeks, his two bottom teeth emerged behind his baby teeth.
Then, one day while we were playing upstairs, his first tooth fell out. SOOO exciting! He had mixed feelings, but we had already talked about what was going to happen and once he saw my excitement (and my fabulous little happy dance), he started to smile.
We placed the tooth in his adorable tooth pillow and anxiously awaited a visit from the Tooth Fairy.
The Tooth Fairy left a VERY sparkly 5 dollar bill and a tooth receipt. Landon was expecting coins, so thankfully, he lost his second tooth a few days later and the Tooth Fairy left a sparkly 2 dollar bill and a dollar coin. ;-) Let me tell you...it was a very exciting week in the Newman household!
