It's going to be awhile before those "TH" words are gonna sound right! Six months ago, our dentist told Lex he'd lose those two front teeth within a few months on their own and in a few weeks if he wiggled them out. Well, here we are with a dentist appointment next week and those teeth were still holding strong. I took a look and guess what I saw!? His new tooth was coming in behind the baby tooth! They were time to go. I cringed watching Shane pull at Lex's teeth, but after much tugging & tears (just a few), they popped right out. Lex found it soothing for me to tickle his feet while Shane counted to 10 (almost) and pulled. I was just doing what I could to distract him.
We went through three different types of floss before ending up using a thin ribbon because the floss kept breaking. Those teeth were in there good!
It was a little like surgery at this point!
One down... one more to go!
And a brand new smile! I love this tooth "phase". A toothless grin is just as cute as when a baby gets his or her new front teeth!
The bottom tooth on the left is very loose, too, so pretty soon those two front bottom teeth are going to be lonesome for awhile! Should make for a great smile going into 2nd grade!

He is brave!! Carlie screams like we are trying to kill her when her tooth is hanging by a thread (and we have to hold her down)!!:)
