I.....was.....OK.....with.....that.
But 2 days ago, my oldest son, Mason (7), was eagerly waiting to share some news with me when I got home from work. With the biggest smile on his face he informed me that he officially has a loose tooth (possibly 2). This is big............with the loss of the baby teeth, comes "ADULT" teeth and a visit from the toothfairy who also holds the secret to the money tree. How much does a tooth go for these days???
Confession.........I have the weakest stomache when it comes to loose teeth. I cannot watch a child wiggling their tooth at any cost. (Think, nails across a chalkboard). Ugh! This is definitely "Daddy" territory. It took all I had to celebrate Mason's official "BIG BOY" moment. (Well, I did, just with my eyes closed)! Ha!
You see, my husband is 1 of 3 boys, and now we have 3 boys. Needless to say, I am going to have many fun years ahead being digusted and tormented by these little...uummmm, shall I say.........."ANGELS"! lol Yes, Mason needs to show me just how wiggly that tooth is (laughing the entire time). I'm all set with that............thank.you.very.much. Hmmm, that's ok, we'll see who's laughing when it finally falls out. That's right, I can hold my own in this male dominated household. It's called "MOMMY SURVIVAL 101" (otherwise known as a sense of humor). lol
I have to say, as I sat down that night to unwind from a very long day, it finally hit me like a ton of bricks..........and I realized my "baby" boy is growing up.........
And.....I.....was.....NOT......OK.......with.....that!
This one is tough to swallow. I guess because Mason was my first born and with that comes all the firsts.........very.bittersweet.moments.
