Tooth Fairy came early

You can probably see that Caleb has a tooth missing in the front beside his left front tooth. A few months ago Caleb was running with his sippy cup and fell on it and his tooth was jammed in his gum. It was terrible. He had to have his tooth pulled last week because it would affect his permanent tooth. My poor baby will be snaggled till at least 5 or 6 years old. The tooth fairy came and visited him and left him $2.00. He proudly put it in his piggy bank.

Yesterday I was at the park with all 3 kids. Caleb was playing and there were older kids (ages 3 to 5) and he bravely went and wanted to play with them but the other kids were content playing with each other. It was so innocent because he had no idea that there are "groups" and people pick you either first or last. He is just a baby and knew he wanted to play and butted his way with those kids. It amazes me how kids see things just as they are and don't read into anything. He knew he wanted to play and was going to do just that. It is sad that sooner or later he will learn that some people don't want to play with you because of who you are or maybe what you look like. I hope the world isn't too cruel when he gets older.

Wow, the tooth fairy came early! At least it wasn't permanent like my sister, Molly's! That is where it gets expensive! Glad he is taking charge and having fun out there!

I bet he was excited about the tooth fairy...It breaks my heart too when Logan comes home from daycare and says his friend wouldn't play with him.
