Tyler's First Tooth

Tyler lost his first tooth.... in about 20 minutes lol... We had left the house to head into town when he said his tooth was wiggling, oh ok honey... no big deal my kids are wishful thinkers all the time thinking that one is loose and it isn't, and even if it was loose I didn't think it was really loose... about 5 minutes later the kids start screaming he's bleeding he's bleeding... so I told them we were almost to Mc D's we'd pull in and get some napkins... Oh and btw I don't do well with teeth, I don't know why but they creep me out, I can handle blood and cuts and Caly hda an IV in her head that was supposed to be one of the worst things to see in the NICU and that didn't bother me, but teeth look out, so I'm feeling a bit woozie... by the time we get to Mc D's it's stopped but no one had said that so I pulled in anyways only to have to get back out of there... we kept traveling without getting any napkins and finally got to my friend's house to drop off Riley... Tyler wanted to come and show everyone his tooth which by this time was turned sideways and laying down... my friend's son got him a tissue and about 30 seconds later Tyler plucked it right out!!!!

It's very tiny

After we left my friends house Tyler was sitting in his seat and he sighed and said I love you Mom... he's so trilled to be like the big boys!

It's nice to finally "meet" someone else who doesn't "do" loose teeth well. Even the wiggling of them gives me funny feelings in the pit of my stomach! UGH!

Here's a funny story...I have some pretty big age gaps in between my children....my oldest is 14, middle 6. Somehow it turns out I never really mentioned to 6 yr old (5 at the time) that teeth fall out...and bigger boys were just that much bigger that he didn't get to witness theirs....see where this is going??

One night while brushing his teeth he started SCREAMING, admittedly, there was blood...but it's just a loose tooth...except he didn't know that!!! Poor kid thought he was dying.

Note to self, tell baby about loosing teeth (another big age gap!!)

He was a happy camper, wasn't he? And, so brave!
I'm glad we could share in the experience!
