A nice story - alone with my son last night, W was "out", and his loose tooth fell out! He wasn't upset or panicky about the blood - just proud and looking forward to the tooth fairy! Having a 5 yr old has got to to be the best mood brightener in the world. W was at school, then spent the night in the Love Nest with OM, so she missed the whole thing. I got to tell her this morning when I asked for a couple "tooth fairy dollars". No accusations, just information. I know my bride, and she was really bothered by not being there - even if it was just for a moment until she justified it. Interestingly, I didn't really care one way or another how she felt - still don't. Maybe my detachment strategy is working on me !
