Tooth !

Gabe lost his first tooth! We are ALL very excited. Poor thing, he has been waiting forever. I think other kids in his class have almost lost every one of theirs, and he is just now losing his first! Funny story how he lost it.....


Gabe came running in the kitchen last Friday with his tooth in his hand and blood in his mouth yelling, "my tooth came out!" My first thought was he had knocked out the wrong one somehow. Living with boys, I have become accustomed to such things happening. He told me he and Cole were playing "tug-of-war" with his pants string in his mouth and it popped out. I know, sounds weird, but I am sure glad it happened. I HATE anything that has to do with pulling teeth! My poor parents were probably suspected of child abuse because of the drama when my teeth were pulled. I really don't think it is the blood that disgusts me, it is just the sounds that are involved in teeth moving around. YUK! I am getting nauseated just thinking about it. Good thing Joey doesn't mind.... He is our teeth puller!

In the process of Gabe losing one tooth, another became loose. Looks like that one will come out soon. Gabe is not so excited about it. I think he will be a lot like me. Maybe we will just let it hang there until it falls out. No harm, right?!
