My DevilPup is 6 now. Crazy right? I’m still trying to figure out where the last six years went, exactly. Or at least who has the clicker to life and keeps pushing the fast forward button. (is it you???? stop it!!)
Each new age comes with new quirks, personalities, surprises, and developments. Some you’ll just never see coming. Other you know happen around certain ages, and do your best to be prepared for yet still get blindsided when they happen. If I had a dime for ever moment I’ve had that deer in the headlights look when a new stage in my child’s life approached before I was completely prepared, I’d have a huge chunk of change.
There are a few stages and moments, though, that you can actually be a bit prepared for. Well, maybe not 100%, but I’m making my attempt to get as close as possible. The most current life stage in my sons life I’m trying to get the jump on is when he loses his first tooth. I am not sure any mother can be completely ready for the moment their child comes running to them, completely freaked out, with a loose tooth, or a tooth that’s popped out and laying in their hand in a small pool of blood with a few saliva-blood mixed drools running down their chin like a ravenous hyena that just got done with lunch, (no, that’s not how it happened with you kid?), but I at least want to think I’m prepared for the part when the tooth falls out, and my son is away from home and has nowhere to put it, and would absolutely be crushed if he lost his lost tooth. Which is very probable since he’s starting school on Monday.
The Tooth Ferry – a very stylish locket, on a leather necklace or silver chain, that securely holds your child’s tooth until they get home and can safely place it under their pillow. Genius, right?? My son loves it, and the designs are perfect for both boys and girls.
He was beyond excited to get this necklace. The only downfall is that now he keeps looking in the mirror, checking for loose teeth.
One little side note I have to add about this product, the CEO of The Tooth Ferry is a 6 year old. His mom, also a small business entrepreneur, helped him get his brand and business started, but the idea comes completely from him.
If you’ve got a kiddo who’s in the baby-teeth-be-gone stage, you need to grab them a Tooth Ferry.
Great post!! Thanks so much for sharing!
These are cool!! I will have to check into this my little man has lost 5 teeth in the last 6 mo. And is about to loose another any day now! We already had a near loss with one… that was not pretty!
