I’m having a real Mommy moment here.  All the “firsts” are so exciting.

I was in the other room.  Jordyn was brushing his teeth when suddenly I hear him make a noise like he wanted to yell but he couldn’t.  Then, I hear him mumble, “My tooth just fell out while I was brushing my teeth!”  He had toothpaste in his mouth he was trying not to spill out until he looked in the mirror and saw the blood.  Then the excited look turned into a pale look of fright.  He looked like he literally either wanted to pass out or vomit or maybe even both.

I quickly go into the mommy is a rock and nothing will shock or scare her voice of reassurance.  I grab a towel and throw a huge smile on my face and say, “Yaaaaaaaaay!  Your tooth is out finally!!”  He still looked scared.  I could see him staring at the blood again.  I say, “It’s ok.  Everyone bleeds when their tooth comes out.  Here, rinse it out and watch it stop!”  I turn the faucet on.  He half way smiles and nods back because losing a tooth apparently paralyzes your jaw into an open position.  He manages to contort himself in such a way that he takes a sip of the running water while it’s flowing, swishes it about a few times and then spits it out.  He does it one more time.  The bleeding stopped.  Let the excitement begin!

I yell out the door to my husband telling him what happened.  You don’t understand.  We’ve been waiting for the last couple of weeks for this tooth to fall out.  His other tooth was already growing in behind it.  You can hardly even tell he lost his tooth. So yeah, we were a tad excited in my house.

Then I suddenly realize Jordyn was brushing his tooth when it happened.  I thought to myself,  “Wait a minute! Oh crap!! Did it fall down the drain??!!”  I went back into the bathroom, asked Jordyn where the tooth went.  He looks down on the counter and points.  It flew out and landed safely on the counter.

WHEW! Cause I know I would have been the mom taking the pipes apart for that tooth.  As far as I know the Tooth Fairy only drops money under pillows.

He wrapped it up in a paper towel and we all watched as he put it under his pillow with so much hope and excitement for the $1.00 he thinks he’s getting.  We’re giving him $5.00 for this first one.  I can hardly wait until he wakes up and sees it.
