That First Tooth

I LOVE milestones.
It just gives me such a fuzzy bunny feeling. We recently had a new milestone with Ethan's first tooth. I have actually been dreading Ethan losing his teeth because he is soooo dramatic about things and I just knew it would be drama, drama, drama. However, he surprised us all. He's getting older and maturing more so that helps but he was so excited about losing a tooth that we had very little drama. Of course, we left him alone for a very long time as it was getting more and more loose. He came to us when it was just about ready to fall out. "My tooth is ready for extraction!" Sam got his "dental tools" and hid them from Ethan because he knew if he saw them he'd start freaking out. Actually I would too! Ethan had to say a little prayer before Dentist Daddy went to work. It was so cute how he told us he needed a minute to pray and ask Heavenly Father to help him stay calm (see even he knows he gets a little dramatic!). As you can tell from the picture Sam covered his eyes like any good dentist would do!

It's so fun to watch your kids get excited about losing teeth, but for my kids it's all about the money. Our question it how much dough was that one worth? Ü

Ethan did not say "My tooth is ready for extraction"!!! He is TOO MUCH! I love that kid. Sam looks like a kid at Disneyland. Maybe he chose the wrong profession??

So does he prefer to go by Sam Jekyll or Sam Hyde? Great post!

Oh MY GOSH! GROSS! I think I've decided NOT to become a dental hygienist! Ha!
