Snaggle Tooth

So.........this happened on the final weekend of Spring Break 2013. 

Back in December, around his 6th birthday, Eli and I discovered a loose tooth. It was barely loose, but it wiggled a little bit. Eli was thrilled to have his first loose tooth! And then the kid left it alone for a month or two...wiggling it a little here or there, but he definitely didn't commit to loosening it up. Finally, 3 months later, it was really loose. At this point, E became a serious tooth-wiggler and began pushing it as far back as it would go and then forward; working on it at the gums. It was enough to make Mommy's tummy do somersaults. And on the final Saturday of Spring Break, he was looking in the mirror with Aunt Debbie....working on it, laughing about it, and then one little tooth twist later, "It's out!" 

Love watching him play with the new gap; flicking his tongue in there, and I love love LOVE his new smile. 

Can't believe he's old enough for this. Crazy.

And cool.
