A Pirate & The Festival Tooth Fairy


While camping this weekend I had the privilege of meeting Simon, an eloquent and well mannered 5 year old from Florida. It seemed like he had traveled the world and back, with his wealth of knowledge. All week he fought with a loose tooth and by Saturday it was ready to go. I watched him for an hour or so across camp and then decided to grab some shots of Simon's progress and the agony/excitement he was going through. There is something very simple about the process and he made a reference several times about this all being part of the "circle of life". He referenced the comment again the last day when he threw a dead millipede into the fire. I have a friend for life. Go Simon Go!

I remember my kids teeth dangling by a tread of tissue and wanting desperately it yank...but they had to get it out on their own initiative.
