This day has been an ETERNITY to get here, according to my oldest. 😉 He has been dying to lose a tooth for about two years now.

And today, it happened.

His tooth started getting loose about three weeks ago and so all he’s done for the entirety of the last three weeks is wiggle his tooth. He’s wiggled it in the outfield during games, he’s wiggled it at school, he’s wiggled it and done his home days. He’s even wiggled it in between bites at dinner.

We were on our way to Bryant and Nicole’s gender reveal (it’s another boy!! We are so excited!!) and his tooth was seriously hanging by a thread, so Jon offered to pull it out. He tried a couple of times and just couldn’t get a good grip on it but by this point, Nathan was ready.

Oh my goodness. I could not stop crying. I was so excited for him, but looking at that tiny little tooth in his hand, I was just immediately back to when I was rocking him endlessly in the middle of the nights as he was cutting that tooth. I remember thinking those nights would NEVER end and what, seventeen minutes later, here we are.

Precious face. He was SO happy!

Guess who is now obsessed with teeth falling out? 😉

I don’t know why we bothered with this. 😉 As he got into bed, he said, “I know the tooth fairy isn’t real. People can’t fly and only God can be everywhere at the same time.” 😉 He’ll still be excited about the money underneath his pillow in the morning!!!

I can’t believe we are already at this stage!!
