Toothless

Boo has wanted to lose a tooth for the last few years (ever since his brothers started losing theirs).  He had been wiggling his bottom one for a while, but would stop when it would hurt.  He really wanted it out, but pulling them really grosses me out.  One Sunday at Loves, he talked Papa into helping (didn't take much)!

 Papa loves to tease. He pulled out these rusty old pliers and grabbed Boo's lip and was asking if he was ready.  Boo is so tough, he didn't even flinch.  Luckily Grandma Kathy stepped in and took the pliers.  He tied a piece of dental floss around it and with one little tug, out it came and flew on the floor.  It took a few minutes to find it, but we did.   He was so excited to put it under his pillow.

 Showing of the new smile. About a week later, he was ready to lose another one.  I was grossed out again and wasn't going to drive to the Loves.  It was after 8 at night, and he begged and begged to run down to our awesome neighbor Annie to have her pull it (she's helped all my boys lose a few!).  I sent him down by himself, and he came back a few minutes later with a tooth in a baggie.  

This is new toothless smile!  I'm a little sad - no more 1st teeth to be lost at our house.
