I Look so Different ... 1st Tooth


Cam finally lost his 1st tooth at almost 6 1/2 years old!!!! He has been waiting forever... most of his friends have lost several and for over a year he has watched them be excited and come to school with more holes in their mouths.

Somehow he got the idea in his head that he wanted his first tooth to come out by tying dental floss around his tooth and a door knob -- and slamming the door shut.

About a month ago his front tooth finally started to loosen up and almost every day he would ask if he could "slam the door."

It was really loose today and I told him when his dad got home he could "do the dental floss thing." Just before bed he asked Dave if he would help him with the dental floss and Dave said "come here, let me just look at it and then you can go grab the floss."

Open mouth, wiggle tooth... YANK!!! The tooth was gone.

That sneaky Dad pulled it before Cam knew what had happened. (This all occurred while Lauren was not in the room because she would have warned him that if Dave says he is checking to see how loose it is, he is really getting ready to pull the tooth. Let's just say Lauren learned very early on not to trust Dave when he says he is just looking...)

We took the picture and Cam looked at it and declared, "I look so much different now!"

Congrats Camo!
