FINALLY!!!

The shark has FINALLY lost his first loose tooth. I say "FINALLY" because this tooth has been loose for 4 1/2 months now! The last few days it's been getting super loose and Gordon finally told Ethan that if he could get it out by today he could have $2. I guess money talks. He has been much more dillegent about wiggling it the last few days, and it was just hanging on by a thread. So, one twist from daddy at lunch today and out it popped! Hurray! We were getting worried that this one was going to require a trip to the dentist. The next shark tooth has now popped through, and the other little front tooth is barely loose. Hopefully it will be out before JULY!!! We are eagerly awaiting our first ever visit from the tooth fairy tonight. . .

He is so much more patient than Joshua. Josh went the the dentist and the dentist told him he had 2 teeth that would be out in "about the next 6 months" because they were barely loose. They were both out within 24 hrs because all he did was mess with them. He could not wait!

Yeah, congrats to the big guy! What a stubborn little tooth, now that Ethan has the hang of it the other teeth will probably come out faster!?!?!?
