He falls apart like this sometimes, don't know if he's hypersensitive or has an emotional OE or what, but I don't think he can possibly be ADHD because he can sit for half the afternoon working on a single project or reading a book if it's something he's interested in. So ((hugs)) and no specific advice, I just wanted to let you know that your DD is not the only one who has done that. And I don't mean to discount your concern at all. BTW, DS's tooth came out this a.m. and he's totally OK with it, even though he is not buying the Tooth Fairy line at all. lol. Good luck to you -- I'd get a 2nd opinion too.

I'm glad to hear DD is not the only child to freak out over a loose tooth. You would have thought the world was coming to an end, the way she was crying. She asked me in a break between sobs "but HOW does the tooth fairy know?!?" So I don't think she's buying it either. LOL. DD can also sit for hours playing her leapster, and things like that. So I always second guess myself on the ADHD.
