All Ethan wants for christmas is...

his front tooth...

Last night Ethan lost his first front tooth...or should I say Cory pulled it out much to Ethan's reluctance! Last year during preschool he fell off a rocking horse and impacted his front tooth. It always looked a little dead after that and this past week I noticed his front tooth was kind of sticking out. He let me touch it and sure enough it was pretty loose.

After about 3 or 4 days it was just time to yank that thing! He didn't want to eat certain food because he said it hurt. Ethan refused to touch the tooth when it came out but it was completely hollow inside; definitely a dead tooth. After everything he asked for ice cream; the boy knows how to milk a situation. We agreed that we'd go the next night for Family Home Evening and he didn't let us forget it all day.

Here are some pictures...

He looks so devastated! Brooklyn was all about getting a front seat to the action and then right there to comfort him.






Putting his tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. He was hoping for "2 monies" and I told him that he would probably get "2 monies" and then opportunistic Ethan said, or "3 or 4 monies?" I said we'll just have to see.

The tooth fairy left 2 dollar bills. He was a pretty happy boy this morning!

P.S. Be sure to take our poll on the side bar...take a guess...
