Yay! I’m so glad it went well. That must be so much easier to have them in the same place, woo hoo!
Rhett lost his first tooth right before Christmas. He was very afraid of the unknown, no matter how many times we explained it to him. He thought all of his teeth would fall out at once & said “how am I going to eat?” It was loose for about 3 weeks, and it came out right before dinner. He turned white as a ghost & almost passed out, basically having a little kid panic attack. We had to pull out a game on our phone to distract him. He calmed down, but then refused to chew any food, so he wouldn’t eat dinner that night. He has a special pillow for his teeth, so we put it next to his bed since he’s a super light sleeper. Before bed, he said “Can I have 5’s and 10’s?” Um, NO! LOL! I laughed my butt off watching Scott try to swap it out on our camera. Everything was okay by morning, and the new tooth is coming in. No other loose teeth right now. Now that he knows it’s no big deal, hopefully he’ll be more excited next time 🙂
I was sentimental about it because it was the first tooth he ever got in at 6 1/2 months, and it’s just a reminder of how fast he’s growing up 🙁
I know! LOL!! That’s what we get for teaching him so much about money 🙂 I seriously got a Quarter most times, maybe a Dollar at best. We started $5.00 a week for him for allowance when he started kindergarten. I don’t let him off easy! He has to complete the chores on his chore chart. But, he’s doing a great job with it. He’s always liked to clean & help out, and he’s very goal oriented and concrete. So, it’s working out well. He’s raking in the dough! We teach him about saving some, spending some, etc. He worries about what the bank will do with his money when we take it there…gets that from Daddy! 🙂
Can’t wait to see it!! (in person!!!)
Mary, how is Malia doing with her sleeping/night terrors? I didn’t know she struggled with that. I used to have them as a kid. My parents still talk about it to this day. It was scary for them because I used to get up out of my bed and walk around the house. I would be crying and talking incoherently. I actually have a few memories of it, waking up in our downstairs bathroom. They didn’t last super long for me, and I’m one of those that outgrew them, which is typically what happens with most night terros. I’ve never had any trouble sleeping since, go figure. I’m a super light sleeper, which is the worst thing that happens to me now. I have vivid dreams nightly that I often remember, but dang, I’m such a tired mommy all the time, I’m always able to sleep no problem haha 🙂
