Another Tooth is Lost

Jeter: Mom, look, my tooth is really loose. I think it is going to come out today! (This is said while he moves his tooth perpendicular to his gum line)

Me: (barely looking) Yup, that is really loose. It will probably come out today...but don't force it.

Jeter: (moving the tooth) Ouch! I need a drink of water.

He swooshes and spits out pinkish blood. Yuch.

Me: Okay...that's good. Why don't you wait. It will come out soon.

He walks downstairs. About 3 minutes later...

Jeter: Mom! I lost my tooth!

Me: Wow! That is sooooooooo great!

My enthusiasm is partially because now I don't have to see the wiggly squiggly tooth anymore. His smile is so cute - kind of like the reverse of when those were the only two teeth in his mouth.

Congrats Jeter! You are such a big boy to pull your tooth out by yourself - and I know that your mommy, is VERY HAPPY that you did it YOURSELF!

Sounds like my 9 year old. She just wears me out with loose teeth. :)

I am not looking forward to those tooth loosing days. It just grosses me out! I'm glad you didnt have to wiggle it yourself.
