Andrew Anecdotes ~ First Tooth Lost

It finally happened! Andrew lost his first tooth. I thought the kid was going to follow in my footsteps and have to get his teeth pulled. The kid had been working hard at wiggling that tooth and I think he may have even broken the root and that is what really got it loose and wiggly. So, on February 1, 2012, he was bugging me to pull it for him. It was just hanging there. However, mommy does NOT do teeth. Loose teeth totally gross me out, so daddy pulled it when he came home from work. I have to say it's a good thing they didn't do it in the bathroom because it bled a lot and neither Marc or Andrew do blood. The tooth even had a little bit of the root left, but it was ready to come out. The permanent tooth was already there waiting. The funny thing is, that his second permanent tooth just broke through and his baby tooth is just starting to get wiggly. So, we may have to get some teeth pulled anyway. Let's hope not.

Our neighbor made this tooth pillow for him when

he was born. The Tooth Fairy put a dollar coin in the pocket.

If you look close you can see his

permanent tooth.

Here it is, root and all.

He doesn't look so sure about this tooth pulling thing here.

See, it was a little bloody. Andrew doesn't know this

or we'd NEVER be able to pull another tooth.
