Carter Lost his FIRST tooth


n
o
This was a big day in the Lundberg house. Carter has been struggling with a loose tooth for a few weeks. He has been so excited and we have wiggled it and felt it numerous times; however it wasn't really budging. He always likes to eat apples, and every time he ate one he used the teeth on the sides of his mouth. I told him, just bite into the apple maybe it will help loosen it up...but he would never try it. Then on Dec 3rd, Carter came in after a basketball game and said mom feel my tooth. I felt it and I it was hanging by a thread. He was worried that it would hurt so he wouldn't let me touch it at first. I promised him I wouldn't pull it out. I don't do that. I have yet to pull a tooth that wasn't mine out. I sent him to see his dad. Craig has an old trick his Grandpa Harston used to do...the thumb trick....he feels it and the next thing you know he has flicked it out with his thumb. It works typically on the first try, but there has been a few teeth that needed another attempt...not Carter's. His came out on the first try. He came running into show me and was so proud. He told everyone he saw the next day. Neveah his cousin was quite mad that he lost one before she did. She wanted a loose tooth now. He was a big boy and good some money from the Tooth Fairy so it was all good! Another milestone down!

He's very happy with his lost tooth! He's probably thinking of the reward that the tooth fairy will give. He could also be excited for the new teeth he will get. Well, those are childhood thoughts. I miss childhood. :)
