Douwe's tooth came out today. He could not however put it under his pillow because he promptly swallowed it. So I told him he could draw a picture of it for the tooth fairy.
He drew a row of teeth with one gap in it. Then he wrote "Tontte" under that, which was probably an effort at "tand", the dutch word for tooth. The he realized he had written the words upside down and started laughing. He said "She will think they are all gone," apparently referring to the tooth fairy. So he started over, drew the teeth again, thought a minute and wrote "totth".
He then announced he was going to read his letter. He held it at arm's length, and said "This is something new! First it was loose. Then it fell out. Douwe".
Then he put it under his pillow.
He is ever so pleased with himself. Especially since the tooth next to the one that just fell out is also loose.

It is hard to believe he alreay lost a tooth and getting ready to lose another one. He was just a baby yesterday.
Take a picture so we can see his new smile. This is a milestone in the life of a grandparent.
And what did the tooth fairy bring him?
