Jamie noticed his first loose tooth back in October and it (and the one next to it) has grown more and more loose in the past month. Jamie was home from school today (no school for AM kindergarten) and I took a look inside his mouth. I used to work as a dental assistant so I guess I'm qualified to look in people's mouths, right? I noticed the permanent teeth breaking through Jamie's gums and told him that those teeth needed to come out soon. I tried to pull out the loosest one but Jamie complained that I was hurting him so I told him that he needed to work on it. A few minutes later, he ran through the living room to look in the mirror. He had pulled the tooth out...he was SO excited! He eventually worked the other one out, too, so he now has a nice gap in the lower front region of his mouth. He can now truly sing the song, "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth".
This was after Jamie pulled the first tooth...you can see how loose the other one is, it's just hanging on by a thread.
This photo was after losing the second tooth...Jamie was so proud that he pulled them out all by himself. He has decided to take the teeth to school tomorrow and show his teacher and classmates. The tooth fairy will have to wait another day.
