Notice Anything?





On Tuesday, May 29th, Nathan 
LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!!

This tooth and been super wiggly for such a long time. The grown up tooth came in right behind it and was literally pushing the baby tooth out- through the the front of his gums! I was trying to see if I could maybe loosen it a little by flossing all around it and the floss got stuck. I told him I was going to have to just pull. He was hugging me so tight and starting to cry and said, "Mommy, please don't." I told him I love him so much but that was the only way the floss would come out and pulled. The tooth went flying and landed under the fridge. After the shock that I pulled it out was over he said, "Oh, that feels much better!" And he told me a bunch of times that day- "Mommy I still love you even though you pulled my tooth."  He is such a sweet boy!

The tooth fairy brought him a "gold" dollar coin and left a cute note. He was so excited.

I can't believe he's old enough to be losing teeth! AAAAAH! Seriously, our kids are growing up way too fast!

Yipee! What a fun milestone :) I lost my first tooth in the bath, ha ha. I pulled all my own teeth out! He's growing up too fast :(

I remember trying to yank one of Madelyn's teeth with floss once....it caused the meltdown of the century. So glad he was brave and let you do it! I think Madelyn's about to lose her 7th or 8th tooth already...
