On Saturday, December 3rd, Landon finally, at 7 years and 3 months old lost his first tooth. Granted, he had a little help from a girl in his class, who cracked him in the mouth with her noggin, but he didn't care. Prior to the collision, his teeth were still tight, and he was a little more than frustrated that he was one of the very last ones in his class to lose a tooth! I have been travelling back and forth to North Carolina the past 2 weekends to visit with my Gram and to help my mom and her sisters and brothers care for her...and it has been tough on all of us. Last weekend I was going to ride up with my dad so he came to Landon's basketball game Saturday and we were to leave right after the game. Landon had a great first game and had a ball being back on the court...all week long his tooth had been hanging on by a thread and I kept trying to get him to pull it out...I just didn't want to miss his first tooth coming out, in fact, I made him promise that he wouldn't lose his tooth while I was away!! 
Anyway, Dad and I got to Grams around 6 or so and I got a phone call from Greg saying "your oldest son is crying because his tooth came out while he was brushing his teeth and he feels guilty because you weren't here to see it!" oh boy! It really was kind of funny...but I did feel bad for him (and me!) I just tried to make a big deal out of it and he seemed alright! I did ask him if he would wait to put it under his pillow until I got home so I could see it, to which he replied "well, I really want my money, but okay" :) that's my boy! Anywhoo, Dad and I got home Monday evening and he put this tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. Times certainly have changed! She left him 2-$2 bills and a gold dollar coin and he was elated!! It was a long time coming and he was so excited! It was really fun for all of us! Isn't he cute with that hole in his mouth?!
