Alex's first REAL lost tooth

Alex is just so proud:) He had his first tooth removed a while back. The crown broke off leaving a gnarled little vampire - needs - to - go - to - the - dentist looking thing that our regular little boy dentist removed. So that was a top tooth. Top left. Then we discover that he has a bottom tooth coming in behind the baby tooth on the bottom. Good news if you are a shark. Not so much if you are the parent of little boys who are destined to follow the paths of their parents into braces, head gear and retainers. We worked on wiggling that baby bottom tooth - a lot. Finally, using the little ora-gel swabs to numb the area (meant for babies who are teething) - John David got the tooth out. It is on the bottom right. So Alex is missing two teeth...diagonal from each other. He is just so cute. He is ever so proud to finally get in on the Tooth Fairy action.
