Well, over the weekend Micah and I were given the chance to "get away" and Micah's parents flew in to stay with the boys. At some point Aiden bit into an apple and I guess really loosened it up. They said it got red and he did hurt a little, and didn't want to bite into anything else. Needless to say we were quite surprised when we came home to see how loose it was!
Kiki and Grandpa were saying goodbye and are heading out on the plane first thing in the morning, and we told Aiden to tell them he would be down a tooth the next time they see him, and they suggested (which we were already thinking) that if we pull it out now then they could see him without a tooth. We didn't give him too much time to really think about it. I just asked him to come sit on my lap so Kiki could take a quick picture. Then we said Daddy was going to look at his tooth to see how loose it was. He was doing great. I had my arms around him like a hug, and he didn't struggle at all. We asked him if he wanted Daddy to try and pull it out, and he said ok, so in Micah went and out came the tooth! Aiden started to say "Ow!" a bit, but by that point it was over and he was just looking at it in awe :) We were all smiles and giving him high fives and telling him how cool it was. We didn't say anything about being "brave" because we didn't want him to think he had needed to be brave. Overall it was a great experience and he did amazing. Soooo happy it wasn't a traumatizing experience-and I didn't have to pull the tooth!!
We put it in a special bag so the Tooth Fairy can find it easily.
Now we have to wait and see if she shows up!
The Tooth Fairy Came!The note says: Yay Aiden! Here is a special coin for losing your first tooth! And a dollar so I can keep it. Keep Brushing!
Tooth Fairy
He was very excited about getting the special coin :)And he can't wait to show his teacher he lost a tooth. What a big day in a kids life!

James says: "Aiden, I miss you really much. I am glad that your tooth went out. I love you really really much."
It was fun watching that video with James. He then checked his teeth. They are firmly in place. Aiden did awesome. I think Ally's second tooth we had to hold her down to pull it out and it was hard even though it was barely holding on. Micah must have one strong grip. So fun.
James also wants to tell Aiden that he has the same pillow pet as him. It is a dolphin. I love you really really much. I miss you really really much. I wish I could come visit you. and I wish you to come to Pittsburgh. we are having fun. that is it.
that was all written by James.
that looks like a huge quarter in his small hands! So fun. Now as he looses more teeth it gets harder for that darn tooth fairy to remember to leaves something and take the tooth. She gets busy is what I told Ally when she kept forgetting to come.
that was Laura not Ben. I was borrowing his computer for a minute.
Aiden says...I miss Jamesie too! and it is cool that we have the same Dolphin, and I also have a bee. I have 2. I miss him and I want him to come tomorrow.
And that is a half dollar he got...and now Devin lost it somewhere in the condo while he was at school. Aiden doesn't know that yet ;)
