Guess who visited our house last night!

The tooth fairy!! Yes, Jackson finally lost his first tooth that had been loose for months. I noticed it was VERY loose and he had been wiggling it with his tongue. I asked him if he wanted me to pull it out for him, and he answered yes. I was really nervous, but it came right out with one little pull.

Since it is his bottom tooth you can't see it unless you pull down his lip a little bit.



He is very proud! We have been hyping it up since it has been loose for so long.




The tooth fairy brought him money since he really has never handled or looked closely at money before. He got one of each: paper dollar, dollar coin, quarter, dime, nickle, and a penny. Then I helped him put it in his piggy bank.

In other news....we are finally going to be getting a little bit of respite! We had been waiting for a while on some one to fill our hours. We were originally told we were getting some very tiny amount of hours, I think she said it was 60 hours per year. When she called yesterday she said she had someone who wanted to work Mondays from 2-8pm. She said the hour limit was going to be waived. She is going to set up a meeting for sometime next week. Hopefully she will be reliable and good with Jackson. It will be nice to have someone to interact and play with him and just pay attention to him for a few hours.
