Today Ethan lost his first tooth. His 2 front teeth have been loose for a while and when he came home from school today one of them was barely hanging on. With a little encouragment from big brother, he grabbed a paper towel, got ahold of the tooth, gave it a couple tugs and soon it was out. It was all very exciting. Then the excitment came crashing down as tragedy struck. Nathaniel, being the helpful big brother, offered to rinsed the tooth off. Before I knew it the tooth took a journey down the drain and Ethan dissolved into heartbroken sobs. Of course, my heart broke for him and I just had to do something. I got on my knees under the sink and prayed for a miracle. Then I took the pipes apart and amazingly enough, there was the tooth. The moment had been saved! After all, losing your first tooth is huge step in growing up, at least to a kid. The tooth is already tucked safely away waiting for a nightime visitor to take it away to be replaced by something even more exciting -- $$$$.
I do have photos, by the way, but I haven't read far enough in the manual to know how to get them off of my new camera yet.

Alyssa lost a tooth just the other day, but that darn tooth fairy didn't come for three days, I guess she forgot, by the 3rd night alyssa had decided to write the tooth fairy a nice reminder note, finally as luck would have it should got her cash!
Can't wait to see the pics.
That is so cute, I'm glad you were able to save the tooth for him!
At least he didn't swallow it like my little guy :) If I ever have anything go down the drain and Coby isn't around, I know who to call! Congratulations to Ethan!
Yippy! What a super mom you are. Sid just lost his first tooth also. I would have never thought about taking apart the pipe to look. AMAZING!!!
