If you remember from previous blog posts, his two bottom front permanent teeth have been growing in behind the baby teeth. Luckily the baby teeth seemed to be getting looser, otherwise they'd have to be pulled. As we wait for both of them to fall out, we've been telling him that he has "shark teeth" since sharks grow new teeth haphazardly and in rows behind existing teeth. You should be able to see the two rows of teeth in the bottom in this picture:
Then last Wednesday, December 17th, he was brushing his teeth before bed and out popped one of the bottom baby teeth! (Thank goodness, it was barely hanging on and giving me the heebie-jeebies every time he was twisting it around!) Good thing Bubba had given him a tooth pillow about 3 years ago in preparation for that very event!
So the tooth was placed ever-so-carefully in the little tooth-shaped pillow and left at the head of his bed for the Tooth Fairy. And guess what - she came! And because that first tooth is so special, he got a whole five dollar bill for that tooth!
I wonder when the other one will fall out. Hopefully in the next month - it's getting pretty loose!
