an exciting day

It was an exciting day around here.  Austin came running up the stairs this morning to surprise me with this! HE LOST HIS BOTTOM TOOTH!!!

I seriously had no idea that he was even close to losing a tooth.  He has been dying to lose one because he said "everyone" in Kindergarten last year had lost one.  His was slightly wiggly but Chloe worked on it and wa-la, out it came.  Chloe is actually magic with teeth that way, I'm thinking she might be the tooth fairy or a future dentist.  This isn't the first time she has yanked someones tooth out.  We hurry and texted a picture to Travis at work and he texted back that he thought Austin looked so cool he pulled his tooth out to match.

I thought that was a pretty clever trick. Austin spent the afternoon wiggling his other bottom tooth which is surprisingly very loose.  I am sure it will come out in the next day or two.  Who knew, the other kids have been SO slow to loose teeth I thought for sure it would be mid-first grade before he had one out.  I am going to have to go look at school pictures from 1st grade and see if he is ahead or behind.  I know for sure that Holden was minus his 2 bottom teeth in his second grade picture.

Now on to the other exciting news...
