We have a missing tooth! A few days ago Ian was brushing his teeth when I asked if I could wiggle the loose one. And there... behind the loose tooth was a wide, bumpy-ridged real tooth.
Last night Ian went to sleep talking about hose wiggly the loose tooth was. In the morning we woke up hearing Ian and Daron talking in the hallway. I heard Daron saying "its backing up - it looks like its backing up" in a concerned tone. Turned out the tooth was gone. It was truly a case of the lost tooth. We turned his room upside down but couldnt find it. I told him to check the toilet for a week.
But we did keep the fantasy alive. I have a really hard time with the tooth fairy story - I am not so comfortable lying to my smart kid. But imagine if I told him - and then asked him to lie to his friends. Or if I told him and he ruined this fantasy for his friends? In carpool today, Donny said she is tiny, someone said she is an angel. I am 90% sure Ian has significant doubt but he sees the rest of us going along. I dont really know how to deal with it but we have a hot wheels car sitting right here. What to do if he asks. I think I'll say I dont know.
