Henry's First Tooth

Henry lost his first tooth in July.  We didn’t even realize his teeth were loose until the dentist showed us the x-ray and predicted his bottom front teeth would fall out in a few weeks (she was right!).  Having been forced to read his sister’s Silverlicious book several times at bedtime, Henry was very familiar with the concept of the tooth fairy.  When he woke up the next morning and found the money under his pillow, he immediately locked it away in his toy pirate chest.  Later on, we discovered that he had written his name (in permanent marker no less) on each dollar bill, just to make sure everyone knew it was his cash!  The second tooth followed a few weeks later, and now Henry is swimming in dough (or so he thinks).  Above is our little man with his first tooth.
