First Tooth

Eli lost his first tooth!  Saturday, May 19th he was being babysat by our friend Mara while Morgan and I went shooting. His tooth had been loose for a week or so but that night he told Mara that it was hurting him and asked her to pull it out.

Apparently he was very brave and did a great job. He was so proud to show us his tooth when we got home.  Eli wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy and asked her if he could keep his tooth. She obliged and left him his tooth, a note reminding him to always remember to brush is teeth, and a one dollar bill.

The note and dollar were in the same ziploc bag as his tooth so Eli didn't notice them at first when he woke up. He came into our bedroom all sad that the Tooth Fairy didn't come. He was very excited when he found it.
