The Happiest Kid Ever !!!!

I can't tell you how long Tyler has been waiting for this day! I think he felt like he was doomed to keep his baby teeth forever, but after A LOT of wiggling, tongue pushing and eating hard foods his little front tooth gave up it's battle and relinquished it's home of around six + years!
I am so glad he lost his tooth before he turned eight. I think that would have been too much for him!

These are fairly hazy and kind of gross but those of us that blog really like to get in the details because we want you, the reader, to experience as much as we do!
His tooth could actually lay flat out across his lip . . .

A clearer shot before the removal.

The aftermath. Now (I think in his mind) he is just one step away from manhood!

Congratulations Tyler - you lost your first tooth

before *Arthur!

*In case you don't understand the Arthur part, to try to comfort him with his worry about never losing his baby teeth, we would remind him that the book character "Arthur" by Marc Brown didn't lose his first tooth until he was eight.
