Ewan Bo Gei Liao

You see? My life revolves so much around you children that the dropping of your first tooth deserved my time to write this post! Milestones. It is a milestone. We waited quite long for this. At 8 years 1 month old, you finally dropped your tooth.

We were initially worried about your oral health because many of your peers had dropped theirs in pre-school and you faithfully kept your full set of baby teeth throughout Primary One and six months into Primary Two! Your dentist shared that we should be concerned only if you still have all your teeth intact at 9 and a half. So technically, we are good.

But you weren't ready for this. You actually felt upset about that first shaky tooth. 

"I don’t wanna be ugly. I don’t want adult teeth! I want to have baby teeth even when I'm an adult!" I tried to figure out what you were saying in between tears. Yesterday, you bled at lunch as you bite into a sesame seed. It got you so worried when you saw the tissue paper soaked up in blood. The tooth was getting really really shaky and I reckoned it was going to drop within the day or next.

This morning as you ate your bowl of breakfast cereal, you crunched into something hard. You spat it out into your hand and wanted to complain to me about that really hard piece of cereal. We looked at it and you went, "OH! It's my tooth!"

It was your tooth. It came out without bleeding, without pain. You wanted to put it under your pillow right away! I asked you what that was for and you told us, "Tooth Fairy! You know if I place my tooth under my pillow, the Tooth Fairy will come and leave a dollar?"

You whispered, "And I know who the Tooth Fairy is. Daddy."

*hahahaha* I couldn't help but go YIPPEEEE because finally, Mommy doesn't have to assume this fairy tale role! I escaped with one less designation under my name *haha*

Anyways Ewan, I didn't intend to introduce Tooth Fairy to you. You heard it from your friends in Kindergarten and your best friend told you this secret, "I found out who Tooth Fairy is. It is my daddy!"

That was how Pa Pa was naturally selected to do this job.

Hope you like your dollar!
