His first loss...

Well, my oldest boy finally lost his first tooth. He was so freakin' stoked to lose it, but would NOT have it pulled. It was barely hanging on there, and it fell out at dinner tonight when he was eating CORN. Not corn on the cob, canned freakin' corn. I have no idea how that happened, but it did. He was asking all of us to feel his "empty spot". It was pretty funny. Now, in like another week or so, he'll lose the one next to it. Hopefully he won't be so nervous now that he knows it doesn't hurt.
Now, here's a question for you guys. Is it "wrong" for the tooth fairy just to take the money out of his piggy bank? You know, the tooth fairy isn't really made of money . We don't have any cash, but I've got change for parking, so I told my wife, we'll just put the change in his piggy band and take out a dollar bill or two, and I got the look. SO, it looks like he'll be getting a stack of quarters. Of course, as a kid, I think I got more excited over quarters than dollar bills, quarters meant I could play arcade games at the movie theatre....but dollar bills meant more transformers......
I have attached a picture of Andrick right after he lost his tooth, thank God he didn't swallow it, there's no way I woulda fished around in the toilet for that sucker.
