My son  walked into the kitchen and flashed me a wide grin. His his two front top teeth were missing.

“Hey, your second tooth finally came out,” I said to him. That second front tooth had been barely hanging on for a couple weeks now. “When did that happen?”

“At the golf course,” he said proudly.

“Where’s your tooth now?” I asked.

My husband chimed in, “I’ve got it in my pocket.”

“We’re gonna put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy!” My son was so excited he could barely contain himself.

So goes the simple yet sweet moments of motherhood. Here’s my oldest baby with his top two teeth and one lower tooth missing.
