Jonah has had a loose tooth for a long time now and hasn't understood why it just won't come out. All of his other friends and classmates lost their teeth in Kindergarten and at the beginning of this year. He got his first baby tooth late, so naturally, he lost his first baby tooth lat also. He didn't like this at all. The last week, it has been hanging by a thread, but it wouldn't come out. He went to school yesterday and was playing tether ball when it came back and hit him in the mouth, un-lodging the tooth from his gums, launching the tooth out of his mouth and into the dirt. Any of you who know Jonah will know that this scenario is perfect for him. He is so harsh and rough anyway, it was no surprise that it came flying out of his mouth. He was so excited, partially because it bled afterwards, but also because he can now join the club. He was so excited to show us when he got home. He then put it under his pillow and couldn't wait until morning. Today he said that he still isn't sure about the tooth ferry. He said, "I wish there was really a way to know for sure if there is a tooth ferry or not." Deep down, I think he knows, but he doesn't want to ruin the excitement and also lose out on the money.
Noah, although brushing his teeth and keeping them clean, told Jonah that he is going to lose a tooth much sooner than 6 years old. He said he is going to brush that tooth right out of his mouth. Noah will probably do it too. He is an over achiever and wants to one-up his brother.

Tell Jonah, Zachary hasn't lost a tooth yet either...and in fact, doesn't even have one that is loose! He's SO bummed! Of course, he may end up like Tyler...who had to have 6 of them pulled!
