B lost his first tooth this morning. It has been loose for some time now. Excited isn't a strong enough description of how he feels about this change in his mouth. He kept looking in the mirror, and said, "mom, look, I can suck my lip and cheek through the hole in my teeth now!!" Such a boy. He wants everyone to know about it. He can't wait for the next one to get loose and fall out too. I really can't believe my baby has lost a tooth and that he is getting so tall. Really, I can't. How can he be 6 years old? How can he have lost a tooth? How can he be starting 1st grade in 9 short weeks?
My lens is at Nikon now, but since it is away, I am using our film camera. So, once I have the photos developed and put onto a disc, I will post pictures of the before and after mouth. It will never look the same again. The new teeth will be so much larger and bumpy looking in his mouth of baby teeth. Aaaggghhh....they are growing up.

I can only imagine the day this happens for my big boy...
So, who pulled the tooth? Did you? Did it just fall out? Did anyone tie a string to it and then to a doorknob and slam the door? Details! Details! I need them!
I pulled it. I told him we could use the string and doorknob, but he didn't like that idea. It had been several days that he really wanted it to come out. And I couldn't pull it out. A friend told him that her mom used a kleenex to "grip" the tooth. So, of course we have to succumb to peer pressure. ha ha So, he came in the kitchen that morning and told me that it was time for it to come out. I took a piece of a paper towel, grabbed the tooth and it came out (I had to pull harder than I thought I would). It felt like I left part of it in his mouth. I felt better that afternoon when another mom was telling me that she felt the same way when she pulled her daughter's tooth - that some of it remained. So, now we can already see the top of the new tooth coming in. Honestly, I still can't believe he is old enough to loose his teeth!
