The Tooth

Tommy's top front tooth has been trouble for several years now.  He bumped it while sledding when he was 3 and it turned sort of a grayish color.  Every time he has visited the dentist we have heard that it will probably fall out soon.  I worried for a little bit that he would lose it at 3 and spend a few years with a gap in his mouth, but I shouldn't have worried- it was a stubborn tooth!  It's been extremely loose and dangling at a funny angle since before Christmas.  At the beginning of this week he bumped it and it was hanging by a teeny corner.  Even being that loose Nathan had to use the pliers to get it out last night.  Tommy was so happy to finally have it out!  Goodbye stubborn tooth!
 
Henry gave it a go- he said that he is practicing to be a doctor.

Daddy, Tommy, and the tooth in the pliers!
 
A new gap!  The adult tooth is already coming in.
