He Lost His Tooth...

Zach has officially joined the missing teeth club, if there is such a thing of course. His permanant tooth had been growing behind his baby tooth, so I took him in to see Justin. Justin cleaned his teeth and then started numbing the front of his mouth. Without telling Zach what he was doing, he reached in with his pliers and yanked the tooth out! Zach cried for a moment and then settled still with no idea that his tooth had been pulled. As Justin sat him up we had him look on the tray and there was his tooth. Zach's response was "Cool!" and then moments later, "That didn't even hurt!", and a couple minutes later, "I was so brave!" I would have to agree, no shot, no indication of anyone pulling your tooth, you are brave Zach!

Now if he would just put his tooth under his pillow, maybe the tooth fairy would pay him a visit, but he is too proud of this tooth, that he is waiting until all his cousins have had a chance to look at it before rendering it to the tooth fairy.

Now I know he's a big boy...you only lose your teeth when your all grown up. Its crazy to think he's at that point in life. Look how cute he is! So proud and happy.

Reading through blogs about firsts brings about a happy feeling. It's just like the times when you want to look back on something, like the first time your little kids lost their first tooth, it just makes you want to say, "They grow up so fast..." Anyway, did he get a lot of treats from the tooth fairy? =)
