"piece of cake"

This morning before church we were in the kitchen eating a snack. While we were eating Payton disappeared. After being gone for a little while, I walked down the hall to check on him. He came out of the bathroom with something in his hand and said, "piece of cake." To which I replied, "huh?" He stated enthusiastically, "I just got my tooth out. It was a piece of cake!" I couldn't believe how proud, shocked and excited I was. He was so happy and I was so happy for him!

Apparently, while we were eating his tooth felt pretty loose. Without telling us, he went into the bathroom to check on it. He started playing with it and just pulled it out. What a crazy kid?! He is so funny! I love that he just quietly disappeared into the bathroom and pulled his own tooth out by himself. Needless to say, it was a pretty exciting moment for all of us. Payton couldn't stop looking at his empty space in his mouth in the mirror. This is his second tooth that he has lost and he has a whole mouthful more to go!
