Finally!

  Eli finally lost a tooth! Actually, he lost two teeth this week. One a couple of days after another. Loosing a tooth seems to be a milestone in our family. All of my kids have been so late to have their teeth fall out. They have all been over 7 (except Eli who will be seven next week). All of their friends seem to have a mouthful of grown up teeth and my kids still have all their perfect, beautiful baby teeth.
  He was really excited to get a visit from the tooth fairy, even though he doesn't believe there is a tooth fairy. He has never been one for childhood fantasy. He does not believe in Santa or the toothfairy. When I asked him why, he simiply stated "Really Mom? Does it make any sense?" Yes, he is wise beyond his years :)
 When my kids loose their baby teeth, I always feel a bit sad. They are growing up too fast for me. It seems like they just grew their teeth in! They can't be falling out already....can they??
