Tooth #2!

And the first visit from the tooth fairy, since Luke opted to keep Tooth #1 for his baby book. 

This loss was a bit of a saga. Luke came running over from the playground after school (I had just arrived and we were playing for a few minutes), friends in tow, and said his tooth fell out when he bonked his head on his friend during a soccer game. He got to go to the nurse and get a special tooth container necklace, then was able to show off his bloody tooth to all of his friends who hadn't seen it. After a few minutes another friend came running over to tell me that Luke had lost his tooth (and when I responded "I know!" He said "no, he lost it. In the grass!"), so I had to use my amazing magical mom eyes to find it in a giant pile of pine needles. 

Luke and the friend who did the honors. 

The tooth fairy also made things a bit difficult for us. After convincing Luke to put the whole necklace under his pillow so the tooth wouldn't get lost (by promising him that we would intervene if we spotted the tooth fairy stealing the whole thing), the tooth fairy folded up Luke's prize and put it inside the tooth necklace, then hung the necklace on his headboard. So at 4:30 in the morning I had a very frantic visitor claiming that the tooth fairy had taken the tooth and the necklace and left nothing in return. Everyone calmed down and went back to bed once we found it. 

It's one of Luke's gifts, I think, to make everything just a little more exciting.
