Tooth Fairy

Dallin lost his first tooth!!  He was so nervous. Everyday he would ask Doug if it was going to fall out and how much it would hurt.  It was really loose for several days and I'm surprised it didn't come out in his lunch.  It was bleeding a little one night and while I was dabbing it a little to help stop the blood, I gave it a little pull and it came right out.  Dallin didn't even realize it and since then he has allowed me to pull the other one that was starting to wiggle right next to it.  Somehow I gained his trust, but he won't let Doug get close to his mouth.  It bothers Doug quite a bit, considering he's the dentist.  We took the kids in for their 6 month exam and Brooke did great, but before Doug even put his hands in Dallin's mouth he puked all over him.  Dallin has a super strong gag reflex and it gets the best of him quite often.  We are hoping that changes as he gets older, otherwise Doug's going to end up having to refer him out for all his dental visits.

That night I told Dallin to put it under his pillow and the tooth fairy would bring him some money.  He was too scared of a strange fairy coming into his room and refused to put it under his pillow.  Finally after 3 nights the fairy gave up trying and put a dollar on the dresser next to his tooth. That ended up being a smart move because he toughened up by the second tooth and was brave enough to put it under his pillow!
