Yesterday, after lunch, the kids were playing outside on their pirate ship play structure. I heard Pablo start hollering that scary, hurt cry, and I ran out to see what was up. He was BAWLING in pain, and scared. I thought he fell from the top of the slide or something – nope, he was eating an apple and his tooth came out! It wasn’t even loose! His permanent teeth have already grown in behind the baby teeth, so I’ve been hoping they’d loosen up! He was SO freaked out and sad – he found his tooth on the ground and tried to reinsert it. Haha! Poor bug.

He was trying to make himself feel better – he started swinging again, really high – but crying the whole way. He kept hollering, “I need ice! I’m sorry, tooth! I’m sorry!” It was kind of heartbreaking and funny all at once. Poor kid!

The tooth fairy visited our house and brought a Lego set for Pablo. Just a little one, with a few people, a traffic signal, and several signs. It’s adorable, and exactly the sort of thing he LOVES. That tooth fairy, she just knows exactly what to bring! He was sad to leave it behind when it was time to go to school!
