I can't believe it! Our little Timo buddy is growing up. He lost his first tooth today (May 14th, 2009). I picked him up from preschool, he said, "Dad! I lost my tooth today!" The other day, I asked him if he wanted me to help pull it out and he said, "no, I just wanna let it come out by itself." So, that's what we did and I guess it was barely hanging on today because at lunch he pulled it out without much effort and no pain. As you can see, he's quite proud of it. Thank goodness he didn't swallow it in his sleep or something. That was my biggest worry about letting it "come out by itself." It's always hard to believe, when my kids start experiencing moments they will remember very well, the kind that are still so vivid in my mind from my childhood.
P.S. Sorry about Timothy's dirty sleeve. We've tried and tried to teach him that his shirt is not a napkin.
