The youngest child lost another baby tooth because he is “NOT a baby, apparently he doesn’t need the Graco FastAction-Fold-Click-Connect stroller anymore .” At bedtime, I put it in a small ziploc and handed it to him for tucking under his pillow. He held the bag up to a light and studied the tooth.

“You know, I really like doing the tooth fairy thing because it means I get a dollar coin, but I kinda want to experiment with this tooth instead. I wonder if I can break it or dissolve it. Do you think I could leave a note instead of my tooth and still get a dollar coin?”
