First Grade, First Lost Tooth

Caleb is the big man in first grade.

He has been waiting for some time for his first tooth to a) get loose and b) fall out.  In February, the dentist told him that he had 2 loose teeth.  I would NEVER have considered them loose, but I guess the wiggled a little.  Ever since then he claimed he had loose theeth.  Last week Thursday afternoon, he bit into an apple and his bottom tooth got really loose.  We made bets at dinner how long it would take for it to fall out.  I knew that he would not be able to keep his hands off of it, but I was still surprised first thing Friday morning, when he came into our room with his tooth in hand.
