Cole has been wiggling his loose tooth for weeks now. And, with the permanent tooth already coming in well behind his baby teeth (yes...he's gonna need braces one day), we've been telling him he needs to get that tooth out as soon as he can!
Two nights ago, during the blizzard, he finally worked up enough nerve to try to pull the tooth on his own. He worked and worked, but just couldn't get it out. We told him to give up and just wait a day or two, that maybe it just wasn't ready yet.
Early this morning, Cole came running into Mommy and Daddy's bedroom full of excitement! "I pulled my tooth! I pulled my tooth!" And, there it was...the little tooth was in his hand! And, he had a nice, big hole in his mouth where it had been!
Cole told us that he woke up, but had not get out of bed yet, and was laying there wiggling his tooth when it literally just fell out! (Thankfully it fell forward and not backward where he might have swallowed it!!)
I guess the tooth fairy will be making her first visit to our house tonight!
