He finally lost it!!!

After the original Shark Boy post, Eli finally lost his 1st tooth!!!  He has been wiggling it day and night, but has been too afraid to let us pull it or to pull it out himself.  Last night he came down from being in bed at about 8:30 with his tooth in a very unnatural position.  He went into the bathroom to check it out and...

VIOLA!!! 

He yanked it out all by himself!

He got out his official Tooth Fairy pillow to put it in.  Then he put his Tooth Fairy pillow on the dining room table.  It was his idea.  He doesn't want to scare the Tooth Fairy off if he wakes up while she's in there.  No skin off my back.  The dining room table is a good spot for her.

This morning he woke up at 5:45 to see what was in his pillow.  He got a shiny new golden dollar!  He was so excited!!! 

Now hopefully he can yank the other one out so the two grown up teeth can come forward ASAP.
