First loose tooth!!!

Last month at Carson's dental check up and cleaning, they told us that Carson had a loose tooth.  And sure enough his bottom middle tooth WAS loose!  Last week it started getting very loose and by Saturday night it was so loose we thought we would try and pull it.  Carson thought it would be really fun to tie a string from his tooth to his remote control truck and then to his tooth and use that to pull it out.  After several attempts of tying floss around his tooth we decided to wait a few more days until it was more loose before trying to pull it out.  So these first pictures are from Saturday night.

 He wiggled it non stop Sunday and woke up this morning saying it hurt.  I told him we would try tonight again to pull it out.  So right before dinner we convinced him to let us try so it would make eating dinner easier.  So as Nick was tying the string around his tooth, the tooth was so loose that it just came out!  (Nick might have actually pulled it but since it was so loose it practically popped out!).  We got it all on video it was so funny!!  Carson didn't even realize the tooth was out until we showed it to him!!  He was so excited and started running around the kitchen jumping up and down!!

It bled just a little and it made his mouth feel so much better having it gone.  After dinner and after FHE, we headed to Orange Leaf to celebrate his first lost tooth!  We have been saving this little tooth box for at least 2 years.  He made it in preschool with Miss Wendy.  When he went to bed tonight, he was so excited to put the tooth under his pillow!  I can't believe my baby is getting big enough to lose teeth!  What a fun milestone!!!
