Rylan lost his first tooth on Sunday (November 13th)! It's been loose for quite some time but it still surprised me when he knocked it out. We were at the Vosti's for our Doyle FHE night when Steph came to me and said "Rylan lost his tooth. He really lost it." I found Rylan, who was crying. I had a feeling he was mostly just scared so I took him by the hand and we went downstairs with Kevin and Steph to find his tooth. Steph found it on the floor by the big bean bags!
Rylan said he was jumping from bag to bag and he "scraped" his tooth on the bean bag when he landed. I'm assuming his face rubbed along the bean bag and it just knocked his tooth right out! It was bleeding just a little bit, but not for long. Steph put his tooth in a baggie for him to bring home while I tried to calm Rylan down. Like I said, I think he was mostly scared but I'm sure it hurt a little, too.
You know what makes it all super cool? Sam had just lost his first tooth that morning!! Dennis took a picture of Rylan, Oliver, and Sam who are all kindergarteners this year. These boys are growing up! So fun they can hit these milestones together.
So I saw this monster tooth pillow on Pinterest before Ry even had a loose tooth. I don't sew but it looked easy enough for someone like me. When Rylan told me his tooth felt "dead" and I discovered the dead feeling was because his tooth was loose, we set out to the fabric store to get some fabric for his special tooth pillow. Well, it laid around and became a sword for the boys and then it got lost. We searched and searched and the pillow never got made. And then Ry's tooth falls out. Great. My procrastination got me again. So I made Rylan wait until I made his pillow before he could leave his tooth for the tooth fairy.
I borrowed my mom's sewing machine and stole some fabric from her scrap pile. I finally got busy on Tuesday and I felt confident as I cut out the material and started sewing. And then the sewing machine jammed up and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Tami stopped by and looked at it but she didn't know either. So my mom came over just as I was leaving for Young Women's and *Poof* I came home to cute monster pillow!! (The above picture doesn't do it justice. It has a little mouth pocket where you put the tooth. It's really cute!) Rylan was already in bed so he had to wait yet another day before the tooth fairy could come. So finally on Wednesday night he put his tooth in the pillow and slept the night away.
Rylan woke up to a push pop and 4 quarters. He wasn't very excited about the push pop. He said that Oliver's tooth fairy left him a lollipop and that's what he wanted. So he gave his push pop to Asher. Well, Rylan has never had a push pop. So when he really got a good look at it and saw Asher enjoying it, Ry said "I think next time I lose a tooth, if the tooth fairy brings me a push pop, I'll keep it"!!
His other bottom tooth is loose so I'm sure it won't be too long!
