A couple weeks ago Daniel came home from school super excited because he had a loose tooth! It was his first one and he couldn't wait to get it out of his mouth. He was very proud of it. As time went on it got more and more loose, but not enough to fall out. It would cause him a little bit of pain if he chomped down on it just right while eating. This helped him decided it needed to come out sooner than later. Since Andy was in Denver for a week, he decided to wait for Dad to come home and take it out. Andy finally made it home, but Daniel was a little nervous to pull it.
On Nov. 21st he had had enough! The tooth had to go!!
He asked me to help him tie some dental floss around his tooth so he could pull it himself. I did a fabulous job with the tie job. So good that untying it wasn't an option when Daniel started to get too nervous about pulling it.
Daniel wanted to pull it himself, but he kept hesitating when he would yank on the floss.
I finally convinced him to let me help him. He wanted me to slowly pull his tooth out. I told him you can't pull a tooth out slowly...it just don't work that way. Then I had him count down from ten using his fingers and then I would pull. He was so focused on the counting down that he didn't notice me pull it until it was all over. :0)
I pulled it when he got to three. He was so upset that he didn't get to finish before I pulled that he almost missed the part about it already being out.
Daniel's first tooth!!
I can't believe he is getting so grown up.
Andy got home shortly after I pulled the tooth. He was sad he missed it especially since he had called on his way home and told Daniel to wait for him to get home. Unfortunately I didn't get the message until it was way too late.
