Caden's New Look

On Saturday evening, Caden lost his first tooth! It only took ten (!!!) days for the tooth to come out.

The story...Caden first discovered his loose tooth when eating a mint meltaway on the sly right before dinner. He has been wanting a loose tooth since last spring, but he wasn't so sure once the time came. There were more tears than tooth wiggles. Over the last several days, he had chomped down on the loose tooth at least once per day, which both sounded and felt horrible. It was barely hanging on and very much in the way, but he couldn't bring himself to wiggle hard enough or pull it. During dinner on Saturday, Caden chomped down on this tooth for the last time. While comforting Caden, Curt reached in and pulled the tooth out without Caden even realizing it. Tooth fairy has visited! His lost tooth will be celebrated at school tomorrow! All is well! I wonder if the next tooth will bring less drama...He is my son, so probably not.

Here is Caden's new look.

And, of course, Cole wanted to show off his teeth too. Hopefully, this will remain Cole's smile for a few more years despite his clumsiness and carelessness.

2 Handsome smiles!!!! Tell Caden Congratulations from us!!!

Our boys think losing teeth is fabulous but it is certainly not my favorite stage! For as much as I dig around in people's mouths...I can't stand loose teeth!!! For sure Daddy's job!

Hey! Nathaniel lost his first tooth about the same time. His also took forever to come out. I think it's even the same tooth. Cute.
