Growing Up

Not only is Hunter starting kindergarten in less than two weeks, now this...



In case you can't tell, he's holding up a tooth in that picture. That's right, my little guy lost his first tooth.

As I was calculating in my mind approximately how much a tooth would be worth nowadays (you know with inflation and whatnot), he advised me that he was going to hide it from the tooth fairy so that he could keep it forever.

Kindergarten, losing a baby tooth, and now a pack-rat. Clearly my little guy is growing up.

Sometimes I think of knocking my own teeth out because they are worth way more now than they were when they were falling out on their own. The only thing that stops me is that they tooth fairy dips into my bank account to support her tooth habit....

So when do you figure Hunter will have to start shaving? ;)

It's crazy - who ever heard of a kid in kindergarten losing teeth (or not even in kindergarten)? Then there's Julia who didn't get her first tooth until she was almost a year. Kids on both ends of the extremes.

Too bad new teeth are so expensive for adults, eh?
