Loose Tooth!


Last week, Caleb said that his mouth felt funny. We took a look inside, and imagine our surprise when we found a new tooth had cut through! His baby tooth in front of it is a bit loose; got lots looser today, in fact. We took him to Dr. Tom, our dentist, who said that we could just wait to let it fall out on its own. Caleb is surprisingly not scared about the whole thing. I don't think it's entered his mind that his tooth coming out could hurt at all, and we'd just as soon leave it that way. He's a bit of a worrier, as you know, but one of the toughest kids I've ever seen! He is excited about the tooth fairy, although he asked me if I was the tooth fairy. Smart kid. :)

Hope it falls out soon. He has another tooth about to come in right next to the new one, and the other baby tooth is a bit loose, as well!
