One Less Tooth...

Ben surprised us tonight right before dinner, saying he had a loose tooth.  As luck would have it, we had sweet corn for dinner and Ben refused to eat it because he said it hurt his tooth.  So, after dinner we took a closer look and one of his front bottom teeth was, in fact, very loose.  So loose, that it was ready to come out!  Ben was very brave and let Daddy pull the tooth out!  He was definitely a little nervous but we were cheering the whole time and he loves an audience!  Conner was a LOT nervous the whole time, so it will be interesting when he loses his first tooth.  I have a feeling, it might not go quite as smoothly!  Good job Ben!
 




 
















We tucked the tooth safely into a little pillow and Ben is looking forward to a visit from the mysterious tooth fairy.  We asked Ben what he thought the Tooth Fairy would bring him.  His first guess was a pop and his second guess was a skateboard!  Dad told him that the Tooth Fairy might bring him some money so Ben was pretty excited about that!  I can't believe that on the eve of their preschool celebration, Ben lost his first tooth!!!  I am on overload!!!!!!!
