New Years Eve Day.
Reuben comes in to show me that his baby tooth is only hanging on by a thread. I say "Yuck!" and then "I'll get in contact with the tooth fairy and tell her it is coming out any day now." He left the room to go play with a christmas present, and minutes later I heard yelling, "It fell out! My tooth fell out!"
For the first lost tooth we thought the tooth fairy should bring a little toy (Reuben values those more than money). I asked him if he wanted me to pass a special request on. He thought and thought. With Christmas just a week before, and no watching of commercials it took a while to come up with something. Finally, he told me about mighty beanz. So, off I went to find the tooth fairy.
That night we had friends over for a fondue party, but the tooth fairy snuck into the room of sleeping boys and replaced the tiny tooth with a mighty bean. Reuben was so excited in the morning, not for the new year, but that the tooth fairy came.
The space it left was not gaping, the new tooth was already as tall as the baby teeth in front of it, and currently pushing it's way forward.

Reuben's a very remarkable child. That's one of the major reasons why most people love children: they are so simple that they value toys over money. Do not worry about the gap. It will definitely grow naturally. Does he have a dentist?
