Snaggle

Jon Kent,

This morning you lost your third tooth.  Which is pretty amazing since you are just 6 years old and many of your peers have yet to lose their first.  Nonetheless, you are now a snaggled tooth little boy.  A cute one if I do say so myself.  You lost your first top tooth today.  Your front tooth.  It had been loose for awhile, but you wouldn't let anyone pull it.  So this morning while brushing your teeth I brushed it and "pop" out it came.  I was shocked and thrilled for you.  And you were pretty excited yourself.  "I get to put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy", you said.  You couldn't wait to go to school and tell your teachers and show your friends.  And the irony of it all is that you are learning about teeth in school right now.  You came home and called your granny and pawpaw and they were equally excited.  I sent a picture to all the family letting them know you had lost your tooth.


I am so thrilled for you.  I know it makes you happy to have the spot light for a bit.  Sometimes that is hard when you are the oldest of three.  But today you were it and I am so proud to be your momma.  Always am.  So enjoy the money from the tooth fairy.  Story has it that she gave you $20.  Something about not having any dollar bills and wanting to give you a little extra for your DS that you are wanting.  Good tooth fairy she must be.

I love you bubba, always and always.

Love,

Momma
