See the missing spot in his mouth? Joseph has had his first wiggly tooth for weeks and last Monday while I was making dinner, he just came right over and held it up with a "Mom, look!" I was so glad he wasn't freaked out about the whole thing. He was actually quite proud of himself for yanking it out. And I might have been more excited about the tooth fairy coming than he was. What a fun job that is!
It just so happened that Joseph had a dentist appointment the next day so he got to show off his missing tooth to the dentist as well. And she pointed out that the tooth next to it was also pretty wiggly. Well Joseph got right to work on that and on Sunday, he could practically twist it in a circle. I couldn't figure out why he wouldn't just yank it out. But the next day when I picked him up at school, he was proudly holding up a plastic tooth strung on a necklace. I had forgotten that he had told me before that when you lose a tooth at school, the nurse gives you a tooth holder necklace to keep it in. So Joseph was waiting to yank it until he was at school so he could get the necklace. Isn't that funny? Here he is holding up his necklace and his loot for his second tooth.
So it's been a whole lot of tooth excitement around here lately. Justin has got some real bad big brother jealousy going on. He constantly shows me his loose teeth and keeps asking if he can go back to the dentist. And he has insisted I take pictures of his mouth just like I've been taking of Joseph. Too cute.

HOw exciting!!! That last one of Justin is so cute!! What a cute little kid!! Loosing teeth is very exciting as a little kid and apparently as a parent, too!:) Congrats to Joseph!!
ALRIGHT JOSEPH!!!! Congrats on all the loose teeth!
Looks like you're rich!
I remember when our oldest son had his first loose tooth--We told him all about the Tooth Fairy and got all excited for him.We couldn't figure out why he was not as excited as we were. He looked really sad and upset etc. Finally we figured out that we had forgotten to tell him that a new tooth would be growing in. He thought he would just get $.35 and then not have anything to chew with--he thought that was not a good deal! Makes me laugh to think about it!
How fun! Congrats Joseph, Alexis is very jealous!
Too cute indeed! That was so fun to read, I love how he planned it all out and lost his tooth at school, such a smart boy! They are adorable and I miss them, plese give them a big kiss and hug.
How is the painting going?
We had such a great time with your family and Darren last Sunday but I kept thinking how much I missed you.
So fun! Abraham's lost several of his too. They are really growing up!
