Last Sunday morning (3/15) Gabe lost his first tooth. It had been wiggly for a while now, at least since early January when we noticed his permanent tooth had already broken through the gum and was growing behind his baby tooth. From that point on we started wiggling that tooth, and even more so after a dentist appointment when the dentist said that if the permanent tooth gets to be the same height as the baby tooth the baby tooth would have to be pulled!. Aaahh.
Gabe definitely didn't want to have that tooth pulled and neither did we so we kept reminding him to keep wiggling. Finally last weekend as we noticed that the permanent tooth was getting a bit high we said we really need to work on that tooth. Saturday morning we tried giving him an apple hoping that would do the trick but he said that it hurt but the tooth felt looser afterwards. That evening at the dinner table he had wiggled it enough that it was hanging by a thread and Sunday morning while he was in his room reading as he does every morning because he's up at the crack of dawn he twisted it and out it came. He didn't come running to tell us, he waited until we were up and we were all so excited!!.
We gave him a special tooth pillow to put it in under his pillow so it would be easy for the tooth fairy to find. She found it and left him a whole dollar. Gabe was also super excited to tell his friends at school since he is finally not the only kid who hasn't lost a tooth yet.
