Josiah’s First Lost Tooth!

First tooth (on the bottom) gone = check!

It was a monumental week here in the Friesen household–Josiah lost his very first tooth.  There was much rejoicing.

I asked if we could take a picture and he was insistent on posing “as a Monster” for the picture (hah!)  He looked at himself in the mirror after it fell out and he thought it really made him look like a monster.  It makes me laugh!

And of course, he got his tooth receipt, a tooth record (which is pretty much a glorified journal sheet)  and a chart to write down all the teeth he loses.

I’ll savor this innocent joy and excitement over the tooth fairy because I know it’s not going to last long.  Chloe discovered “the truth” just last year and I can tell she’s having a hard time keeping the knowledge to herself.  We’ve talked about it and she’s not supposed to spoil it for him… but I’m aware that she is a first born type A girl.  So, we’ll see how long she lasts!  🙂
