Henry Loses His First Tooth!

Yeah! Henry lost his first tooth on March 18th. It was really, really loose and I just wanted to pull it out but his anxiety about blood and it hurting prevented me from doing anything for awhile. Finally it was just getting ridiculous and I just did it. It did bleed a bit but not for long. Once he got used to how it felt without with tooth in his mouth and the bleeding stopped he was all happy about it. We do the Tooth Fairy at our house so Henry was excited to put the tooth in a bag with a note and put it under his pillow.
Look at that hole in his mouth! And there are two other super wiggly teeth too!
I wrote the note, but it was dictated by Henry.
He wasn't sure he liked the idea of giving up the tooth so he asked to keep it.
Here's his note back from the Tooth Fairy. "Dear Henry, Thank you for the tooth! I really need it for my collection. I love you too! Love, The Tooth Fairy." He was super excited about the dollar he got and was totally okay not getting to keep the tooth.
