Wiggle and a Yank

For some reason blogger keeps loading my pictures opposite of how I add them. Was it always that way?
Anyway, this first picture is the "After" If you squint and cock your head to the side you can see the adult tooth peeking out back there. It's actually pretty far in. We couldn't believe that his baby tooth didn't fall out weeks ago.
That's just nasty. Teeth should not be able to do that.
Somebody get the yankers!

For those of you that enjoy videos of this sort of thing... here's some wigglin' in action. I had to pretend that I was fascinated by the bloody little wiggling tooth because Joseph was not looking forward to losing his first tooth. Other than this particular morning he NEVER wiggled. I wanted to hide under the table, but I sucked it up and video taped the whole thing. Memories. Beautiful memories.


Did you watch? Ok, I know you didn't even get to see the grand finale of the tooth coming out. My camera will only record for 1 minute. (technically 1:01) I got him all excited about pulling some more. Refolded the tissue. Gave him some yanking instructions and he went at that tooth with gusto. It popped out and he threw the tissue on the table. 5 minutes later I finally found the tooth. Joseph cried that his tooth was gone. 20 minutes later he finally ate his (now soggy) cereal.

I think all joy was restored when he got money. He earned enough from his 1st tooth to get 2 matchbox cars.
He has 3 (three!) more loose teeth. He's not wiggling.
