First tooth out

So the big day arrived when my sons first tooth fell out, and I wasn’t there. It happened at school, and I commended him on being a brave little star. He was thrilled and it felt like he was achieving a major milestone ( which really is). He relayed the day’s events with much excitement and pride,  which included some tears and shaking knees. Inside I was aching a little because I wasn’t there, but was proud, oh so proud of him!! When I asked him if anyone gave him a hug, and he replied no, I felt a little tug at my heart. I responded with a big tight hug around him, and lots of laughs.

So often we see these things happen as just normal and part of life, but to our kids it means alot to them, it’s a change in their life and it’s called “growing up”.
 I encouraged him that if it happens to any of his friends and he’s around, its ok to put an arm around them and say “you’ll be fine”.
That night he placed his tooth in the special tooth cushion he had made at school and fell off to sleep, eagerly awaiting the morning.

We all need to show one another love and encourage positivity. If we can live it, we can spread it and make our children of the future more compassionate, not hard hearted as sometimes people are.

There’s a lesson that we learn daily through our children, be sure to catch it!
