Lost your first tooth

So 4 days after you had a loose tooth.. you lost it!!! At 5 years and 2 months you have officially lost your first tooth:( I cried. Its so sad. But its reality and its happening fast! You had gone for the day with grandma and grandpa to ride the ranger in crown king. On the way home they called and said it fell out! You were eating a fruit roll up when it happened. When they called I cried. I was so happy for you because you were so excited but so sad that I wasn't with you when it happened:( I am with you every day even at school but I missed this:( When you got home you hugged me. You were so happy!!!

That night the Tooth Fairy came. You were so excited to go to bed! The tooth Fairy brought you $1! You were so happy and excited you told everyone the next day! 

My son, I love you so much it hurts. I wish I could stop time but I cant! I am trying so hard to embrace this time. You are such a big boy and that makes me so happy and proud! I LOVE YOU

first loose tooth

You officially have your first loose tooth!:( We were at the park today and we were having a picnic. You said something to me with your mouth full. I was distracted because the food in your mouth and right when I was getting ready t o tell you to chew with your mouth closed, I noticed that one of your teeth looked closer to the other one…It was the bottom front, right one. I looked again and as you talked your tooth moved! Then I touched it and saw that it was loose. Then I cried! My heart ached! And I wished I could stop time and have you stay my boy forever:( It hurts seeing you grow up so fast! But I have to start learning to cherish each day instead of wishing I had more time in the past! 

When we got home you told me you wanted me to pull your tooth out NOW! I asked why, and you said you wanted to be a grown up like Daddy! So I gave you the talk about how being a grown up is no fun.. You have cleaning, cooking, stress, you have to watch your future kids, be tired, and NO playdates or playtime!! And you said…. " But Mommy.. I want to be a grown up DADDY not MOMMY so I won't have to do all those cleaning and cooking and things that you do!" You are clever my SON! You are  already growing to be a Man, a leader of your home, a provider! That makes my heart happy! I thank God for you every second! I am so in love with you it hurts! My Son, you are my life!!!
