Connor’s tooth became quite loose a few days ago.  When Connor realized that it was hanging by a thread at bedtime, he suddenly got very nervous.  Initially he wanted us to take it out for him, but then he burst out crying.  We’ve hardly seen Connor like that.  He cried so hard that it was hard to hear what he was trying to say.  He was very scared that it would hurt a lot, so he changed his mind and did not want us to touch it.  We told him to just leave it alone, and it still took a long time before he calmed down.  For the next couple of days, we left the tooth alone and Connor had no complaints.  This morning at 5 something, Connor came in to tell us the tooth fell out.  He got woken up as he almost swallowed the tooth; he fished it out from the inside of his mouth and came share the news.  Tonight Connor was excited.  He is hoping the fairy will pay him a visit, but he also wished he could keep his tooth.
