The Tooth Fairy Is Coming!

Eli has finally lost a tooth...actually, four. He had two permanent teeth coming in and his baby teeth weren't the least bit loose. So off to the dentist we went. Eli had a small cavity filled also. He did great and made me a proud mama.

Eli is so excited about the Tooth Fairy coming. The Tooth Fairy will be generous...after all, this will be her first visit plus it's four teeth at once. And the added 'trauma' from the dentist having to do the work. This visit is suddenly very expensive for us!

Here's how it looks without the baby teeth. As you can see, his new teeth are huge. Braces are in his future.

Here are the actual teeth. Look at those roots!

Here's a little 'tooth saver chest' the dentist gave Eli to hold on to the teeth. I thought that was a great idea.
