Toothless Throwback

Since Kimball lost his tooth two weeks ago, I figured it could count as a throwback. It's late enough, and I am finally getting around to it, so I figured I could get a two-for-one post in.
I have tons of blurry and silly pictures, but this one was the best. His personality shines through his smile and you can tell he was proud as punch that he had pulled his tooth out by himself. (He wanted me to take a picture of him with his tooth under the pillow.) I think he is actually going to be totally toothless because his other top-front tooth is loose and his two bottom-front teeth are loose too!

We left for Jackson Hole early the morning-after and we talked about the tooth fairy and how he was so brave on-and-off for the whole weekend. He, being gregarious, told complete strangers that he had lost a tooth and the tooth fairy visited and gave him money because he was brave enough to pull it himself. Apparantly she is eco-friendly too. He says that she recycles the teeth and gives them to new babies. (Kinda gross, but funny, right?)

At one meal, he asked how the tooth fairy got in to the house. He said, "Santa comes down the chimney, but how does the tooth-fairy come in?"

I had never given much thought to it, and I don't think the thought ever crossed my mind as a child because, of course, she is a magic fairy. So, in my mind, I was trying to think about pixie dust, and her wings, and some magic tooth spell.

Before I could come up with something magical, Josh said, "I left the back door unlocked for her." Kimball said, "Oh, thanks Dad."

P.S. I finally added the picture for the throwback from a few weeks ago. Oops!
