I've been waiting for this day for a long time... To me there's nothing cuter than a toothless smile! When Jonathan lost his front teeth, they each came out at different times. By the time the 2nd one came out, his new adult tooth was coming in, so he never truly had a toothless smile. So... poor Jake! As soon as his first tooth fell out a week or so ago, I begged him to wiggle the other one out! Picture day at school is approaching so he has been under great pressure to get it out! The other day while he was in class, he wouldn't stop wiggling it. He had the "blood moustache" going on and it was hanging by a thread, so his teacher sent him to the bathroom to work on it for 5 minutes. Success! And then he got $5 for each top tooth. He's so excited to finally be losing teeth! For some reason my boys have been the last in their classes to lose them. So now Jake looks like a first grader- even though he's in second! I remember a few years back when Jake tried to trick the tooth fairy by putting a shark's tooth under his pillow. No more of that needed- and he looks cuter than ever!!! (He even lisps).
