Lost tooth

Last night Holden had a loose tooth that he really wanted to come out while he was at school. He kept talking about the cool little box they give you if you loose your tooth and get to go to the office for "the box". Well last night while getting his pj's on his tooth caught on his shirt and popped out. We spent 10 minutes trying to find it in his room and finally we did. This morning he was putting it in his mouth like he hadn't lost it... his plan was to "loose his tooth" at school and get the cool box. I told him that if he wants the box he shouldn't pretend that he lost it at school that he should just put it in a bag and ask them directly during lunch or recess, I also said that if he has it in his mouth he is likely to really loose the tooth or swallow it. He of course didn't listen and went on his way as he had planned with the tooth in his mouth. As I was walking Ridge to school shortly after Holdy left we rounded the corner and saw Holden on the ground searching through the grass crying huge tears. The poor little boy had really lost his tooth.
