Brady's 1st Tooth

Wow! Brady has (finally) lost his first tooth. This must be some kind of record considering that he is 7 1/2 years old. I imagine they are all going to start falling out now.

It has been wiggly for weeks and he pulled it all by himself today at school. Luckily, I was at the school while it happened. I was putting up Christmas decorations in Mason's class and Brady passed by to say hi and that he was on his way to recess. Not long after that, he ran back in and said, "Mom, I pulled my tooth!" He said it was "soooo wiggly." By this time his class was eating their snack. All the kids ran up to me and told me that Brady had pulled his tooth. I think they were excited, too! He had a little treasure box and his tooth was inside. I told him I wanted to see it, but he said we couldn't open it because it might fall out. I hope he doesn't lose it and that he remembers to bring it home.

He was a little shocked, but also excited. I'm so glad he did it on his own. He was about to let Ryan pull it out last night, but I interfered and told both of them no. Brady needed to do this on his own time and do it for himself. It's definitely a right of passage and I don't want to have to be pulling all his teeth for him. Let's be honest, it kind of grosses me out.

Here's our snaggle-tooth now. He might be singing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!"
