Tooth Fairy

In a span of a week, Riley lost his two front teeth.  He now speaks with a slight lisp that you wouldn't notice if you didn't know him.

Realizing there was money to be had, he asked about if the tooth fairy is really real or not.  We've always teased about it and not given him a straight answer, but then paid up regardless.  Anyway, we were getting the kids ready for bed the day he lost the first one when I noticed him peeking out his bedroom window.  Figuring it was all related, but not wanting to embarrass him, I told Reid to ask him discreetly what he was looking at.  Reid later told me that he just smiled really big and pointed at his tooth.

The good news is that he can now slurp food directly from his plate.  The other day I told him not to hunch over and hoover his food.  He just looked at me and began smacking his lips loudly, which is the other habit we're trying to break him of.  I get no respect at all.
