losing teeth = mo money

Will loves money. Maybe that's why he wiggles his teeth until they fall out. He has managed to pull out 5 of his teeth in the last 5 months. There is still no sign of his new permanent tooth ready to pop through. They have been pulled out pre-maturely - he has lost his teeth 1 year earlier than Sambo and 2 whole years earlier than Millie! It's all because of one thing...
The Tooth Fairy will bring him money!
He lost his 2nd top middle tooth last week, and then another one on bottom yesterday. Each time he just comes up to me with a big grin, shows me his tooth, informs me he lost a tooth, puts it in a ziplock baggie, then straight to his bedroom to place it under his pillow.
I imagine him rubbing his hands together, just thinking about the money he's going to get.

On a different note, today he stood up in sacrament meeting and bore his testimony for the first time. He didn't tell us he was going, he just started walking up there and honestly we were a little worried about what was going to come out of his mouth.
He adjusted the microphone, paused for a minute, smiled and got his crazy eyes, then said very clearly, "I believe in church. I believe in God."
That was it. So simple yet so sweet. Love that kid.
