Another one bites the dust

The tooth fairy has been making extra stops at our house lately! Jack finally lost his other top front tooth, and I'm sure many people that had to look at it jiggling around in his mouth the last few days (me, Kate, Mrs. Meredith, daddy...) are breathing a sigh of relief that it is finally gone. Two nights ago I kept having to check on him all night because he was afraid he would swallow it in his sleep, but he was trying to hang onto it so he could lose it at school and get a cool tooth necklace from Mrs. Meredith. I finally put my foot down tonight...when he would talk, his tooth would wiggle! He would jump and the tooth would swing back and forth! When he was talking to me once and I actually saw the back of his tooth while he was talking I told him he had to get it out NOW! With a little bit of talking, Grandma finally helped him work up the courage to give it a little tug and it was over. There wasn't even any blood, Jack gleefully informed me, just a little bit of taco meat left over from lunch (which he very graciously picked out with my nail file and showed to me).
