the last visit

eli has been working on a loose tooth for a few days now. i knew about this. what i didn’t know until he wiggled it out is that it was his last one. his very last baby tooth. i don’t know why, but that hit me like a ton of bricks. no more “tooth fairy” notes. no more of him grossing me out with a hanging-on-by-a-thread-tooth. no more sneaking to get a treat under a pillow. i guess it’s fitting, he got his first cell phone today, and lost his last baby tooth. he’s growing up.
