lOst tOOtH!!

About a month ago we noticed James' bottom tooth looked a little crooked, like it was leaning over a bit. We asked him if his tooth was loose and I felt it. We were shocked to find out it in fact WAS loose! I thought this was a bit young, but I guess it is young, but also normal, losing teeth is a bell curve so there are going to be some who lose them young and of course our super baby who did everything young has now turned into a super kid, so it is really no surprise at all! 
James wasn't too excited when he learned he was going to lose a tooth. He didn't really understand, I mean it's not like all the other kids at school are losing teeth and he can't wait to loose his! After we explain it all and that he would eventually get another tooth he was ok with it. 
It was getting really lose and I thought it was going to fall pout in a few days, but I didn't notice how loose it really was yesterday. We were at church and I guess he was playing with it. My Mom had said she saw it in church and it was so lose it was hanging by a string! The day before it wasn't like that at all! After church we were outside talking, the kids eating donuts and running around. My Mom asked me if James's tooth came out. I said I don't think so. She says, well it is so loose it is laying down or it fell out! So we call James over and ask him and sure enough it is gone! He didn't even know! It must have gotten swallowed with the donut! 
Everybody wanted to see his missing tooth and he was getting very shy about it. He didn't want to show anyone and I think he was a little concerned and sad he swallowed it. He asked how the tooth fairy would know he lost his tooth! 
We told him that the tooth fairy just knows and we will write her a letter to tell her that he swallowed it and that is why the tooth is not there!
He was SO excited when he woke up to see the tooth fairy had left him something! He was talking all about what he was going to go buy with his money! 
And he discovered the tooth next to that one is loose!!!
Awe, my baby is growing up so fast! :-/
