carson has patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) waited while all around him, his friends are losing teeth and collecting cash.
his teeth weren't budging.
but finally he got a loose tooth and over the last couple days i've been bribing him with treats & cash if he'd let me pull it. despite the fact that it was barely hanging on, he wouldn't let me.
so yesterday, carson fell asleep on my lap. i couldn't resist. i wiggled. he slept. i twisted. he slept. i pushed it. he slept. i pulled it. he slept. and it was done. and he was still sleeping.
imagine his surprise when he woke up with the tooth in a plastic baggy instead of in his mouth :)
he wrote a note to the tooth fairy last night. and this morning he was thrilled to wake up to a $5 bill under his pillow (the tooth fairy payout is not as hefty for the remaining teeth).
he says he hopes that for the NEXT tooth, she'll leave him a credit card.
i heart carson. LOL.

oh gosh, I LOVE that note! Hayden has had his hands in his mouth for the past 5 mos trying desperately to make a tooth come loose but alas, they are not (noticeably) wiggly in the least bit. I could skip the whole losing teeth bit & be happy but he is SOOOO anxious to lose one. He is 6.5.
carson is 7.5. we are LATE tooth losers here. tell him to hang in there!
