Michael has had a loose tooth for a while. The past few days it has really gotten loose. The gums were turning red and the tooth was just really hanging loose. He was having trouble eating. We finally told him last night that it needed to go. He had a meltdown. He really didn't want it to come out. Mike tried to help, he wiggled it a lot, I bribed him with McDonalds McFlurry, but he just didn't want it to come out.
Finally Mike put him to bed last night saying it wasn't going to come out - that it was hanging on strong. I was waiting until the dentist opened this morning to call and schedule a time to take him in for them to pull it out - he was really looking quite snaggletoothed!
But, he finally came running in this morning to tell us it fell out while he was biting something for breakfast. Thankfully.
The two previous teeth that came out had to be pulled, so this is the first one that fell out on its own. I hope the rest aren't this traumatic.
Guess the tooth fairy will be visiting tonight!

poor guy. i hated it when my teeth fell out. it always hurt! how was disney?
Our kids let them hang there by a thread. I make them pull it when it gets that bad but haven't ever taken them to the dentist to have it pulled. We just waited until they fell out on their own.
