Shane did it! He lost his first tooth. It was very exciting and he had been waiting a very long time. He kept wiggling and wiggling and finally a friend of ours wrapped dental floss to yank it out. It didn't work and Shane just kept wiggling and wiggling. Last Friday, at his friend's birthday party, the dad got a napkin and pulled it out. I think Shane was surprised that it worked. So Shane put his tooth under his pillow and guess what he found in the morning? HIS TOOTH! What? The tooth fairy forgot? Does that only happen in our house? So we had to check again. Maybe the tooth fairy got nervous when she saw the cats and didn't have time to pick up the tooth. Or maybe she left the money but couldn't grab the tooth. Sure enough, way under the covers, Shane found his money. That silly tooth fairy.
I realized though that this is the last time that one of our kids will lose his/her first tooth. That chapter is closed. There is still plenty of teeth to be lost and braces to be had and cavities to fill but no more first teeth. It was a bitter sweet experience.

cute story! love the way you wrote it.
HAH...our tooth fairy is lame too. They must be related!
Sometimes there were so many kids losing teeth, that it took a few days for the tooth fairy to come!
