Carter loses his 1st tooth...

The excitement around our house this weekend involved Carter losing his first tooth.
Carter was a little down on Saturday as his tooth was hurting and starting to work its way out. I told him that it would be out in about a day or two, so we decided to do a before and after picture.
BEFORE....By Sunday evening, Carter's tooth was hanging by one thread (It was so GROSS). He asked me to pull it out, but I couldn't get myself to do it!!
He then asked Chad to do it. Chad's fingers were so big compared to Carter's little tooth that he couldn't get a good grip on it. He found a narrow plyers and it "slid" right out, as Chad said......I had to leave the room, of course! Carter is happy to announce that he finally lost his first tooth. We prepared the tooth for the tooth fairy, when I was taken off guard with tears from Carter. He was soooooooooooooo upset that he had to give his tooth to the tooth fairy. He calmed down knowing that he can keep his tooth as long as he wants and can give it to the tooth fairy when he is ready to. I am hoping it won't be too long as he is sleeping with his tooth tonight in a little special box. Oh, did I mention that we had to write the tooth fairy a letter in that he wanted to keep his tooth?!?
AFTER.....
Since Carter was getting pictures of his teeth, Bradley had to get a picture of his teeth, as well.......well, more like his tongue!!

Have a good week everyone!

WOW, Carter!!! You look so OLD without your tooth! Way to go! That is so cool that you have lost a tooth! Andrew has been losing teeth lately, too! (his have been in the back, though) When you are ready to leave your tooth for the tooth fairy, I bet she will leave you some MONEY!!!! Congratulations on your first tooth!
Love, Auntie, Uncle, and the Klimie Cousins!
