He finally lost one!!

We found out on October 30th at a dentist appointment that Britton's bottom two teeth were just starting to get loose. He was in the bathroom that night looking in the mirror and wiggling them, he wanted them out so bad so I took a picture of him with all of his teeth in.

Last night his tooth was so loose that I didn't dare let him go to bed with it in. I thought for sure he would swallow it so I told him it needed to be out before 8:00 PM.

I couldn't believe how nervous he was after all this time. He was afraid it was going to hurt when we pulled it out so for a couple of hours he was a little worried and wouldn't let us do much with it. When it was time to get in the bath I sat him down and said just let me pull on it a little and if it hurts I will stop. I pulled it right out with no effort at all. I really wish I got a picture of his reaction. He was ShOcKeD!!

So at 7:35 PM on November 17th 2009 at the age of 7 years 5 months 2 weeks and 3 days old Britton finally lost his first tooth!!


There wasn't too much blood but he wasn't thrilled about the flavor in is mouth anyway. After a few rinses with water all was well. He was so excited he had to make a few phone calls. First to Great Grandma Donna then to Grandma and Papa Turner. The tooth right next to the one he just lost and both of his top front teeth are loose as well. I think we better take our Christmas pictures soon!!
