He's an Incredible Kid

Andrew lost his second tooth 2 days ago, bottom front left.
The first night he forgot to put it under the pillow so of course the Tooth Fairy didn't come. Last night he reminded me to put the tooth under it so she would come. As i was putting it in the envelope i asked him if he wanted to see it one last time. When he was looking at it i was telling him about how that was his first tooth that came in (well one of the first 2), he was only 4 months old, and so on. Then i asked him if he would like to just forget about the tooth fairy and just keep it so that he can show his kids his first tooth and the story of when his first grew in and fell out. (ya i could just keep it and give it to him when he's older and know longer believes in the tooth fairy, but i wanted to see what his choice would be, instant gratification for a couple of dollars or a long term decision that will only come in fruitation when he has his kids) He chose the latter. I must say that's pretty incredible for a 5 yr old to make a choice like that! Later on before we went to bed i ended up giving him a toonie to put into his bank.
