toothy

This morning, Nolan lost his FIRST TOOTH! And, yes, I know some of you are going to think it gross that I'm including a picture of the actual tooth, but since Nolan declined to pose for a traditional just-lost-my-first-tooth photo, I had little else to work with for documenting purposes. Actually, Nolan not only refused a photo session, he also made it clear that he didn't wish to discuss the experience at all. Even when I launched into my tooth fairy speil, he completely shut me down. He actually gave me the hand. I dropped the topic for the rest of the day, but right before bed this evening, I convinced him that it would be worth his while to put his tooth under his pillow, and I asked, "What do you think the tooth fairy might leave for you?" His response was a big sigh and then this: "Oh, Mom. You just get what you get." Not sure, but I think he may be humoring me. That and/or he's embarrassed that his mom still believes in the tooth fairy. In any case, I'm amazed by this kid!
