Toothless Wonder

We've been calling Conrad the "toothless wonder" lately, and for good reason! He lost 3 teeth in one week, finally catching up to his peers. He lost his two bottom teeth last year but that was it, and most of his friends have a mouthful of permanent teeth already! I kept telling him it was just because he takes such good care of his teeth, they don't want to fall out of his head.

The last tooth he lost at school, and somewhere between there and here it actually did get lost. Conrad had saved the other two teeth so he could "cash in" with more than one tooth and decided it was time to turn them in. The tooth fairy was not quite sure what to do about the lost tooth and pondered it for quite a while. In the end, Conrad got $2.50 and a note telling him that if he located the missing tooth, he could have the other 50 cents.
