Official...

It's official...Alexander has hit another milestone, just a week & a half after his 6th birthday.

He lost his first tooth!

He has been teasing (or fibbing depending on how you look at it) that he lost his tooth for about a week now. However, you can tell he hasn't because he's not excited. This morning, he went in to brush his teeth using his timer. And I don't know if he was trying to beat the timer or brush hard to get the tooth out, but it worked! His tooth came out! Along with a lot of blood. Who knew losing a tooth caused that much blood. I think it was because of how it came out - the pressure of the tooth brush and the force of a 6 yr old.
We cleaned up the little tooth and he rinsed his mouth until the blood stopped - it wasn't that long, but did surprise me with the amount of blood. It was unexpected to say the least.

He was so excited to be able to go to school and finally put a mark on the tooth board, and also be the first one for April.

He has a 2nd wiggly tooth right next to the first one so I won't be surprised if that falls out fairly quickly as it no longer has support.

It exciting stuff and we're getting ready for the tooth fairy!
