K looses his first tooth!

Well, he lost his first tooth the traditional way most 6 year olds lose their teeth. When K was at the dentist about a month ago, they told us that his front two bottom teeth were getting pretty loose.
Attempt #1. Cheeto and I don't do well at pulling teeth. I suppose if I HAD to, I would get use to it. Cheeto hates to inflict pain upon someone and I can't stand that crunch sound when the tooth breaks from the root. UGH! This friends use to work for a dentist office and thought she could get it out. It seemed pretty loose but wasn't quite ready yet. Kelson cried a bit but was a good sport to let her try. Our kids have such little mouths and teeth that it's hard enough trying to get a good hold on the tooth to get it out. Attempt failed. We told him to keep wiggling and maybe tomorrow we would get it out. It was really bothering him.
Attempt #2 - My dear friend that LOVES to pull teeth was successful. She gave Kelson a rag to bite down on afterwards and told him she would pull on 3. She said one, two- and pulled it out. It pretty much fell out after another day of wiggling. Kelson didn't even realize she had done it! Thank you, Thank you for friends that will do our dirty work!
Kelson is down 3 front teeth now. One more and the poor kid will have to bite and chew with his back teeth. What a little trooper he is! He has an adorable now. I will have to get a good picture to post of him.

Hey! There's Lindsay Barthlome! Cool that you could have someone else from Grace in your neck of the woods. Congrats on finally getting the tooth out!
