happy molar tooth plushie by squidhead

...............

what did you dine on for valentine's day, sweeties?

a romantic homecooked dinner with loved ones? 

a fabulous restaurant feast with dear friends?

little rikrak, you ask?

why ... he ate his tooth! 

eek. yes - after a fun-filled valentine's day party at school where he reported eating(you'd better sit down for this menu, sweeties!)

22 cinnamon hearts

5 sugar heart cookies

4 chocolate hearts

3 chocolate kisses
(eek again!) 

(and pretty much none of his healthy lunch - ya i know - who can blame him - it's valentine's day!!) he swallowed his loose baby tooth during a "giant gummie worm" finale to the party!

alak. 

alas.

how would you handle lost or *eaten* teeth with the tooth fairy?

ever happen to you as a child? 

remember what the tooth fairy did?

happy eating!

a little mommying rite of passage on the weekend here at the rikrak home.

our little sweetie lost his first tooth. imagine!

on my part: excitement. can't-believed-ness. a little *my baby's not a baby*-ed ness. lots of photo-taking.

on little rikrak's part: elation. pride. joy. lots funfun staring-in-the-mirror-ness. calling everyone in the family-ness. so sweet.

little rikrak suggested a funeral celebration for the tooth.
of course, mr. rikrak & i loved this idea.

we took turns holding the little tooth, wrapped in a felty pouch, sharing words of fond remeberence. perhaps the sweetest part:
little rikrak : " we've been through so many great times together, tooth. hard times: like when you got hit with a baseball. yummy times like eating gelato, whip cream, chocolate. .... thanks." so sincere. so sweet!

needless to say mr. rikrak & i loved it.

so it's a little like a new little mommying era, of sorts.

it's an exciting time.

but i am glad he asked the tooth fairy (in an adorable little note) to keep the tooth.
you *know* how i love collections! i do always love a good souvenir!

any fun tooth fairy/ losing a little tooth memories you'd like to share?
isn't that toothless grin the most adorable little thing?

*sigh*
