how much money do you think i'll get for a tooth this clean?

heaven help us--sam has his first loose tooth. he bit into a popsicle and evidently that jarred it enough so that it wiggles now. i just did a wiggle check last week, so it is fairly recent.

he so thrilled--he asked me how much money he would get for losing a first tooth. then, the title comment, then he said, 'i'm sure glad that i kept my teeth so shiny. the tooth fairy will LOVE this one...she might pay double to get a tooth like this.'

he has checked in the mirror nonstop and gone to tell five and jay. jay was appropriately excited; five just wanted to try to pull it.

he wanted to call dad and tell him, but dad is in class, so i said he'd better wait. typical sam response: 'you're right--if his teacher saw him on the phone, she might confiscate it!'

i pray this tooth comes out quickly.

f.y.i.

dragons won't communicate in small talk.

sam and i like to goof off
