Jonathan lost his first tooth tonight. Finally! I think he is among the last (if not the last) in his class to lose a tooth.
We had some funny conversations about his tooth and the tooth fairy. First, we had to call Russ at work to tell him. Jonathan asked Russ to guess what had happened. He gave a hint. "It's something I've never done before in my life." Russell's response? "Flush the toilet?"
Later Jonathan was curious about how much money the tooth fairy brings. I told him that when I was a kid it was 25 cents, but that was a long time ago. He said, "Yeah, I'm sure the tooth fairy knows better by now".
As I type, he is trying to fall asleep with his tooth under his pillow in the super cool bag I made with my mad sewing skills.

It seems like my kids are always the last to loose their teeth, too.
There was an "Arthur" show on PBS when my kids were little that talked about kids losing teeth late. Arthur assured EVERYONE that you could be as old as 8 before losing your first tooth.
That show saved our hides when Alix went YEARS without dropping one. As time went by, she lost them 2-3 at a time!
Glad to hear Sir Jump-A-Lot is in the Tooth Fairy groove! :)
That Russell...such a cut-up.
And congrats to Jonathan. McKay was about the same age when his first fell out. He's only lost 4 so far. I figure his adult teeth will be super strong for all of that developing time.
