~Finally~

Dylan holding his tooth

Nice bloody hole in his mouth

My little boy is growing up

This is what Ryan was doingHe thinks picking his nose is the funniest thing

It FINALLY happened! Dylan lost his first tooth!! About 3 weeks ago we noticed that he had a permanent tooth growing in behind his baby teeth, and nothing felt loose! I took him to the dentist and they took some x-rays, and said that it was fine and that his tooth was moving a little, that he just had to keep wiggling it. Sure enough it got looser and looser. Today while I was getting ready for the day, he came running in with a mouth full of blood, and his tooth was barely holding on. It was disgusting! He had gotten it caught on a string when he was playing with Ryan. So we jumped in the car and drove down to see Chuck. Dylan was so scared it was going to hurt he wouldn't let us pull it out. We bribed him all day long. FINALLY, while Chuck was brushing & flossing his teeth, Dylan was throwing the BIGGEST fit, so Chuck flossed it right out of his mouth. Dylan screamed and then came running in to show me. He was so EXCITED!! I asked him if it hurt and he said "not really"! All I could say was " see"! Hopefully we don't have to go through all of the fit throwing when his next tooth is ready to fall out, which by the way the one right next to it is wiggling pretty good. Now here comes the TOOTH FAIRY!!!!!
