What? Why, yes I’m posting more than once today because it’s sort of an emergency.

My 5 year old son’s tooth is loose and I kind of want to talk about it. I’m pretty sure it’s going to fall out soon like tonight or tomorow. I hope it’s not tonight because the toothfairy wants to get him a little gift since it’s his first tooth.

Right now he’s kind of anxious. He keeps wiggling his tooth and I know the prospect of it hurting is unsettling to him. The fact that it’s his first tooth and this is something that will never happen again makes me want to do something special for him other than slip 2 quarters under his pillow. A few quarters must have been the going rate when I was a child. That’s what I remember getting and although at the time getting fifty cents was quite exciting to me I don’t think fifty cents is going to be that wonderful to my son in exchange for losing his firt baby tooth that will undoubtedly cause him some emotional trauma since he is the drama king type.

Say, what is the going rate for a first baby tooth anyway? Should we give him money or a gift? What did you do?
