AJ's First Tooth...Gone!

Finally! The infamous wiggly tooth came out last night!
This tooth has been loose for many, many weeks. 
Jason and I have tried to pull this tooth a few times, but it just wasn't the right time. Last night Jason and Jackson came home from Wednesday night church and the tooth was hanging out of his mouth sideways. Gross! So he tried a few times and then asked me to help him. All it took was a little pull...and pop...out it came. His reaction was so funny! He ran downstairs and showed Jason with full joy and excitement. These are some of the things I remember about it:
1.) He wanted to wash the tooth because he didn't think the tooth fairy likes dirty teeth.
2.) He was so excited about writing his name on the "Lost a Tooth in January" board at school.
3.) After we put the tooth under his pillow he wanted to sleep on the other side of the bed so the tooth fairy can get the tooth easily. 
This morning he ran in our room so excited that the tooth fairy brought him a 2 euro coin!
These are the moments that I love being a parent. I know we have many more teeth that are going to come out in the years to come, but there is nothing like that first baby tooth gone. Sweet memories!
 YaYa bought Jackson this tooth box to put under his pillow. He loves being able to put it to use!
