Another One Bites the Dust...

This year Cullen's school picture looked a little something like this...

  He refused to smile with his mouth open because according to him he was the only 2nd grader in his school that had not lost a tooth.  (Don't ask me why he appears to be falling or tipping forward- he couldn't explain that to me.)  He has watched while his younger brother and sister have both lost several teeth, silently and not so silently begging for his turn.  He made me take nightly pictures of him because he was sure every night was the night he was going to lose a tooth.  He just knew it would change his whole appearance.  Then right before Christmas he lost his first tooth.  It called for a BIG celebration- we had a tooth party!  

I assumed the nightly picture taking would stop...  Not so much.  

You're lucky I'm just posting one because they all basically look the same.

 Last night, after the Littles were already in bed, Cullen lost another tooth!   

This morning he woke up extra early to show me his Tooth Fairy goods.  Then asked me not to tell his siblings that he lost a tooth.  Guess what...  They never even noticed.  Cullen began prompting them asking if he looked different.  They NEVER. EVEN. NOTICED!  Cullen ended up finally tell them.  Of course they were happy and excited for him but Cullen was shocked they didn't notice.

When he came home from school he told me, "No one in my class even noticed that I lost a tooth."

Tonight before bed Cullen didn't ask me to take his picture...
