Lost front tooth!!

We knew it was loose... For the past few days its been wiggling, but Isaac's first top tooth fell out yesterday.  I noticed it while we were playing a game of UNO together last night.  I asked him about it, and this is how our conversation went:

Me: Isaac!  Did you lose your tooth.

Isaac: (shaking head, nodding head)

Me: Is that yes or no?

Isaac: mmmhmm (mouth closed, so I wouldn't see anything)

Me:  Oh that's great!  Remember how we talked about it happening any day now?

Do you know where it is?

Isaac: (nodding head ever so slightly)

Me:  Did you swallow it?

Isaac: (shaking head)

Me: Where is it bud?

Isaac: (very quietly) ...under my pillow.

Then I talked him about what a special day it was.  He lost his first top front tooth!  Then he told me that he had lost it when he was eating some garlic butter (!!!) and it came out.  He had secretly gone upstairs to his room to put it under his pillow.  And this morning he found a dollar in its place. :)

He is now gaining confidence about losing his tooth, but last night when Steven got home Isaac didn't want to tell him about it. He told Steven later in the night that he didn't like what he looked like now because "it was a part of my body and it broke.  People might laugh at me."  Steven gently explained the truth and Isaac seemed to understand.  He is slowly smiling more and more.  And that smile is the cutest thing ever!!

What a sweet big boy he is!
