Dallas Jr. is 7!!!

Dallas had a great birthday on August 8th! We celebrated with a trip to a local arcarde to play games and ride go-karts. He picked out a Hot Wheels theme birthday cake which we presented to him at his favorite restaurant, Nick's Airport Inn. He ordered calamari and sashimi tuna. How sophisticated! While we were at the arcade they each got a Spiderman popsicle/ice cream treat and while he was eating it his already loose tooth became really loose. I have a serious tooth phobia and really could not look at the tooth moving all the way forward and all the way backward! Uugghh, I thought I was going to be sick. I am not sure how I can endure this 39 more times between the two of them. Thank goodness, Dallas Sr. was in town and could help him through this. After we returned home from dinner, he got a wet wash cloth and pulled his own tooth. I never pulled a tooth, I just waited till they fell out! I was really impressed that he did it by himself. When PawPaw asked him the going rate for a tooth, he replied, "Maybe $50 or $100!" The tooth fairy left him $5. I think that is pretty good for a first tooth. The next morning he said "I don't think there really is a tooth fairy, I think it was you, Mom." He also pointed out that he thought the Easter Bunny was his Dad. Guess Santa is up next. Hopefully he won't ruin it for Sterling and the younger cousins. Go Karts, his favorite meal at his favorite restaurant, cake, presents, and losing his first tooth all made for a perfect and memorable 7th birthday for my precious angel face who is growing up way too fast!
