Enoch's Lost Tooth

Enoch has always had a lot of teeth in his little mouth. They are squished in there pretty tight. So, imagine my surprise when he informed me that he was growing a second row of teeth - shark teeth he told me proudly. Yep, Enoch had permanent teeth coming in behind his baby teeth.

Greg and I encouraged him to start wiggling his baby teeth as often as he could. It wasn't too long before he lost one tooth and then about a week later another tooth.


He was so excited to put his tooth in his Tooth Fairy Pouch. The tooth fairy usually leaves a really fun toy for your first tooth lost (each tooth after that is worth about $.50). Enoch received a really cool set of Alien Invaders Legos. He was super excited!

We will see what the Tooth Fairy leaves for the teeth that Enoch is getting pulled in a couple of weeks. Maybe something special since that is going to hurt!

PS - Enoch and Kate have both lost the same tooth. The difference is that Enoch's permanent tooth was coming in before his baby tooth fell out and Kate's permanent tooth is most likely not coming in for a few more years.

PSS - I forget about this experience. I wanted to remember it so I copied my mom's comments:
"I'm still remembering that first tooth that he lost at our house that came out and he didn't even know it. It was a really "lost" tooth and I wasn't sure how to find it. Enoch knew what to do, however. He went downstairs, said a prayer and when he opened his eyes again, there was his tooth sitting on the bed with all white bedding. Only divine intervention could have helped with that one! "And a little child shall lead them . . ."
