Asher lost his first tooth tonight- not the one that has been loose for over 2 months (yes, really!), but the one that became loose more recently. We believe it was helped on its way after Eric caught a washcloth on it last night and yanked on it. Tonight it was this loose:

| Yes, his tooth is hanging out of his mouth |
We told him there was no way he could eat dinner with his tooth like that, and Eric promised him Shopkins if he got it out before dinner. There was some mild hysteria around possible bleeding, but moments later, Asher popped his tooth out with his tongue- and it flew across the rug! We all clapped and hugged and admired his tooth.

| The gap on the bottom is about as big as the gap on top! |
He wrote a letter to the tooth fairy- I didn't get a chance to take a picture before he stuffed it under his pillow, but it said something like, "Please leave my tooth because it is in a little bag. Leave my tooth but I would like something like money." My dad has a $1 coin to give him and Eric snuck out to 5 Below for Shopkins while no one was looking. Asher is sleeping over at my parents' house tonight, so my dad gets to play tooth fairy again! I am a little sad that I won't be there in the morning to see his reaction to a visit from the tooth fairy, but I didn't want to force him home, or delay his reward from the tooth fairy after all the tooth fairy promotion we did. He is so proud now, and not afraid to lose that other wiggly tooth on the bottom!
Post-script: In looking at these photos, I feel motivated to begin saving for orthodontia. Oh my goodness.
