Adam Lost His Tooth!

Adam lost his first tooth (July 28, 2013)! He and I were working on filling freezer bags with corn to be frozen for the winter when I looked at his tooth (for the hundredth time) and realized that the new tooth had already broken skin behind the baby tooth! I said, "Adam, you have to get that thing out of there tonight!"  So he and his daddy began the process to get it out. Darren tried first, then Adam tried for a while, finally Darren was able to get it out! Adam never shed one tear! He was excited that he had finally lost his very first tooth!  Me.....I cried!!!!!!!!!! Darren laughed at me, of course, but I couldn't help but to be saddened by this milestone!
 It is sad to see my baby growing up so fast...all my babies growing up so fast!  After he had pulled it he ran up the hill to show his Papaw Burch that he had lost his tooth!   As I watched him run (he loves to run) up the hill, I said, "I still see him as no more than 4" and he is 6!  Ugh!!!!!!!!!! Parenting is terribly wonderful! Haha! 

That night he put his tooth under his pillow in a little Ziploc bag, and the Tooth Fairy brought him $5.00 for that first lost tooth!  A morning I am quite sure he will never forget! After all, who can forget losing their first tooth and finding money under their pillow, placed there by a special fairy who turns their teeth into stars in the sky!


We love you Adam....To the moon and back!!!!
