And then there were Five...

Five baby teeth!  Caden lost his fifth tooth on Friday!  Three of those have started growing in already, it' not the big gaping hole in front....


... there!! now you can see which one!

Someone was getting a little tired of trying to get an actual shot of the hole without my help holding his lip down :)


That's better..

Caden actually lost his tooth at school!  On the way to the drinking fountain he tells us.  He came home with this snazzy key chain...

.. and what was inside? but his tooth!

He wrote a note to the tooth fairy.. I guess he thinks she is is a bit like Santa.  His initial note said "Dees Ples"  Translation.. 'DS Please' (Nintendo DS)  I thought he did a fabulous job!  He's really catching on with phonics and doing a great job sounding out his reading, and trying out writing on his own.  When he asked me if it was right I told him what a great job he did, and told him how the words were tricky that he had written, and told him why and how the words were actually spelled.  He ran off and came back with the note below which he put with his tooth pillow for the fairy.  It must've been hard for the tooth fairy to resist such an adorable plea!   But a dollar was found in the morning, with a nice note from the tooth fairy herself... understandable reason I thought!

Lucky for Caden that Poobah had a DS he wasn't using anymore, which he will get from him wrapped up on his birthday.. only a couple more months to wait!  We will have one VERY happy birthday boy on our hands!

That's adorable!! I can't believe how many teeth Caden has lost already. Cole has yet to lose one but he didn't get his first tooth until he was past 7 months old so I'm wondering if that's why?! Who knows!

How exciting for Caden! And yes, awesome job with the spelling!

It comes as absolutely no surprise to me that my nephew is brilliant (as are all of your children and mine.) It's merely a question of good genetics (and good parenting!) Let us know if Mr. Caden has a particular game he might like on the DS...
