Dear other babies,

Dear Baby Friends,

Remember those times moomy and daddy thought I was getting a tooth? 

Well, it's finally here.  

I was being a good baby, so daddy didn't know that things were changing.  Two days ago I gave him a kiss on the finger and he felt it.  It is on the bottom and makes lots of drool on my mouth.  Daddy said it felt a little bit hard and sharp.

It was really hurting til today, so I had a hard time falling asleep for my morning nap.

I cried and needed extra cuddle-hugs.  Daddy said, "I know, I know".  But then he said, "You know, Arik, I actually don't really know how it feels.  Moomies and daddies sometimes say that they know.  Here's what they really mean:  it must really hurt and be confusing for you.  But it will be OK soon and it just means that you're becoming a bigger boy."

I fell asleep a little bit later and am going to dream about using my new tooth to eat not-mushy food.

I think that this must be the reason that the tooth fairy comes in a few years.  It's like a little reward for going through baby pains.

So, hang in there, baby buddies...it'll be OK soon and you'll love eating not-mushy foods.

Love,

Arik
