Oh, that first tooth is really a hard one. They are so excited but it is hard to realize that your baby is growing up.
I can't believe you pulled out his first tooth though. I just let my kids' fall out on their own. I hated when my mom pulled out my teeth so I swore I'd never do it to mine.

Sorry I missed so many posts! I had a crazy week. I will go catch up on everything that you've been doing for the past week though.
I would have entered your drawing for baby stuff, but I think I'm done having babies. So I'm not sure what I would do with it. :)

Oh, look at that little one-tooth-less grin. I lo...

2009-11-28T20:23:53.098-06:00

Oh, look at that little one-tooth-less grin. I love it.

And, isn't that what the first kid is for? Experimenting and learning? I'm sure that's why I ended up this way.

2009-11-27T10:19:00.908-06:00

My boys both swallowed the first tooth they lost - and I cried. I still have the voicemail saved when one called from preschool to say he lost it - from 2 years ago.

By the way my post is dedicated to you today!

Awwww...i remember those years..the very first baby tooth.
I love the way your write..straight from the heart.

2009-11-26T00:42:51.489-06:00

Aww, this was sweet. Can I say, though, what you really don't want to have to do is take your kid to the maxillofacial specialist FIVE times to have teeth surgically removed because his teeth *never* came out on their own. Ugh!

I laughed. I cringed. My husband laughed as I read it out loud.
Great post.
I am so not ready for teeth to come out. I am, however, ready for them all to come in. :-)

2009-11-25T11:07:05.754-06:00

If you were to go through my top dresser drawer you would find... I don't even know how many envelopes with one of my boy's names, a date, and possibly what number in the order lost of lost teeth. What I'll do with these I don't know, but they seem to precious to simply toss out. I can't have a them set in plastic to recreate the baby mouth because there are a few that didn't make it (lost at school or swallowed). Any ideas?

Hope you found the tooth. :-) Man, I'll be a w...

2009-11-25T08:07:45.450-06:00

Hope you found the tooth. :-) Man, I'll be a wreck when we start losing baby teeth around here.

So cute you tried the string and the apple tricks!...

2009-11-24T19:22:11.967-06:00

So cute you tried the string and the apple tricks! Hope you found the tooth! I'm so not looking forward to this happening in my house... sniff sniff

My son is about ready to lose his first tooth. Wah!

2009-11-24T14:39:05.176-06:00

Love this post...we haven't ventured to the dentist with Spencer yet...I know we need to but he barely let's me in his mouth!

I remember my grandpa pulling my teeth with actually teeth pullers once. Now that was scarier than any dentist!

2009-11-24T13:55:24.071-06:00

ps - hope your vacuum isn't so good at sucking (like mine) and you find the beloved tooth soon :)

2009-11-24T13:54:36.101-06:00

ok first he is the most adorable toothless kid i have seen!

second, i held my mouth the whole time reading this post. childhood memories of my own teeth. and of course then i clutched my heart and thought of memories to come. and i can't go there!

Awwwww...that makes me sad to think of you all sad...

2009-11-24T13:39:42.432-06:00

Awwwww...that makes me sad to think of you all sad that way!

2009-11-24T12:36:21.449-06:00

ok, the bleeding and pulling made me cringe. I'll try to remember to resist the urge when the time comes.

And brush for them till they're 7? ugh. DD is 5 and she does it herself, even though the dentist admonished me for it.

DS is 2 and did GREAT at his first trip to the dentist. I think he's weird though. He has sat still at haircuts since age 1. :)

2009-11-24T12:09:02.411-06:00

LOL, it all works out in the end, that's the important message here!

2009-11-24T10:38:14.074-06:00

OMG I loved this one! Every step is hillarious! Almost the same that happened to my daughter...except she was SO anxious to get toothfairy money, SHE was the one yanking and pulling before it was actually ready to come out! :) Thank goodness for Orajel!

2009-11-24T09:35:37.467-06:00

My kids stopped mentioning to me when their teeth were loose because I would whip out the kleenex and say come here!! Haha! I think I finally just got rid of about 15 baby teeth in my "jewerly" box because I have no idea which teeth belong to which kid! I know - Mom of the Year right here!!!

Oh thank you. We are yet to experience this. And...

2009-11-24T08:57:41.695-06:00

Oh thank you. We are yet to experience this. And now I think I will be all prepared and ready. :)

We read a book about a kid losing a tooth and so now my two year old keeps trying to pull her teeth out. I think I have finally convinced her it is going to be a while still.

Oh...you poor thing!

2009-11-24T08:25:48.108-06:00

Oh...you poor thing!

2009-11-24T07:56:35.774-06:00

Ha-ha. I shouldn't use loose and lose in the same post, one proofread right before bed.

Sharon, hilarious. I can already imagine that happening to me.

2009-11-24T06:35:13.070-06:00

My friend M who has 4 kids told me (because I had no clue how to brush two squirmy boys' teeth 2x a day after their inhalers were done)

"hand them the brush and let them play with it".

I don't brush their teeth! They do. They LOVE it! I guess because they "own" the brushing and it's not me holding the brush?

Hugs hun. The DH is home from traveling and guess what? I went from Hero to Zero since he's been home. Guess what my next blog entry will be about? Yeah! Me being the lost toy in the island of Misfit toys...

hugs and happy thanksgiving my friend...

2009-11-24T06:28:28.312-06:00

Oh I feel your pain. When my munchkin lost his first tooth I had a meltdown, thinking that something was wrong, that it was too early, and that it came out because I wasn't taking good care of them. I made McHubby (who was living in the UK at the time) ask HIS kids dentist about it because it was the middle of the night here... poor guy thought I was nuts.

I knew I got the award for "Useless Mom" when standing at Burger King last month, my son handed me a piece of something white and said "Here.Its part of my tooth" and I looked to find a super cavity, minus the chunk I held in my hand. Ugh!
