Teeth

Well it seems like it was just yesterday Caleb was eight months old and we were visiting NY. Our first night we were staying at our friends Kurt and Barb Sieber's house. Caleb surprised us that night by coming down with a hundred and five degree fever. Kurt and Barb drove with us to the nearest hospital at midnight where they looked at caleb gave him some advil and told us to keep an eye on him. It turned out he had Roseola. But it was that night in the emergency room, with him throwing up, and screaming his head off that I realized his first tooth had broken through. Amazing, what you can see when your child is hanging upside down in your arms throwing up. :) Well this past week Caleb lost his first tooth! His first tooth IN was a top one, his first tooth out a bottom.

Since I knew caleb would soon be loosing a tooth I polled the first graders last week on the going rate the tooth fairy leaves now-a-days. It seems he/she generally leaves $1-$2. The over achieving parents/tooth fairies or guilt ridden ones tend to leave A LOT more. Since I do not have those feelings of guilt our tooth fairy left $2. Caleb decided to use his $2 plus some of his allowance to purchase a book at the scholastic book fair this week. Not a bad purchase.

Wow! Kris and Sabrina, time does go by so fast. Soon your little ones will be loosing those teeth they are so painfully getting right now!

It's kinda funny. This whole school year caleb has been miffed that he hasn't lost a tooth. Well when his tooth finally became loose he complained. " I don't like having loose teeth, they hurt!" :) Can't win! Have a good weekend. Matt posted some pictures of Caleb's hole in the head.

Have a good weekend all.
