Milestone: First Loose Tooth

Monday morning, Soren told me that his tooth was wiggling.  I thought this was some psychosomatic thing he was doing to get attention because who ever heard of a 5 year old with a loose tooth?  I thought I had another year to get cute kindergarten pictures before he had missing teeth!

However, I dutifully checked his mouth and sure enough he was telling the truth! It's the front bottom tooth on the right and it is very loose.

I remember my first loose tooth.  I had it when I was 6 years old and my dad was reading The Hobbit to me.  He would read 5 pages every night and then wiggle my tooth 5 times.  The funny thing about this is that Scott and Soren are in fact reading The Hobbit right now, about 5-10 pages every night.

STRATEGY:  My plan was to sit Soren on the toilet once a day and read him a couple of stories.  If he peed, I was planning to give him a candy. THE BAD NEWS:  The candy totally backfired.  The one time that he peed on the toilet, I gave him a candy and he had a full-on tantrum begging for more.  If I ever told him "When you pee on the potty, you can have a candy", he would begin screaming for the treat and be unable to focus on the toilet training. THE GOOD NEWS:  Soren was not afraid of sitting on the big toilet.  He actually really enjoyed it (when I was reading stories and not pimping rewards) and started asking to sit there any time his butt was bare.
