Tooth #2

Jamie lost his second tooth a couple of days ago. It's his other front bottom tooth, and like the first one the permanent tooth, about twice as large, had already come up behind it. The baby tooth had been wobbly for quite a while, and this filled Jamie with pleasing anticipation of tooth fairy visits and dollar bills to come, but also periodically made him a little nervous. As before, we went back in forth about him wanting us to pull and being afraid, but in the end it just popped out. This time he kept a hold of it though so we put it in a little pouch under his pillow. Anticipation was high. The pouch had a little snap on it and that night before he went to bed, Jamie expressed some anxiety about whether she would be able to get it open, but we agreed the tooth fairy was strong and could handle it.
