Alex's first tooth fairy visit.

On Thursday, we went over to my friend's place to for a short visit. Alex and Sky were playing and somehow she jumped and bumped her head on the bottom of Alex's jaw. He became very upset and said that his tooth had become loose so I checked it out. Good enough, his adult tooth has already broken through (maybe from him biting it when Sky hit him?) and his tooth was indeed loose. We went home because it was painful for Alex and I wanted to give him some advil to see if it helps. As the night went on, he demanded to see his grandpa so we went over to my dad's place. My dad checked it out and told me to use a tweezer to pull his tooth out when it becomes more loose. Later on, while Alex was eating, his tooth became even more loose so it was time to pull it out. It only took a few tries but Alex screamed his head off. I had to reassure him that the pain will go away once the tooth was out and that he would be getting money from the tooth fairy. After the tooth was out, he realized that I was right. The pain did go away almost instantly after his tooth was out and he was sooo proud of himself!

He got $5 for his tooth from the toothfairy. At the funeral, he scored a few more dollars from relatives by showing his toothless grin off. :-)

There was something interesting I came across on the internet. The earlier your baby teeths, the earlier they will likely lose their baby teeth. Alex and Sky were both 4 months old when they got their first teeth. By the time they were a year old, they had all their teeth. So that explained why Alex lost his first tooth before his older friends.
