First Tooth

Did you think this post was about Crosby?

The irony around here is that one boy lost/is losing his bottom teeth and another boy is gaining them:)

Crosby's new teeth haven't quite broken through, but my 1st baby boy, Caden, lost his first tooth tonight!!! It has been loose for a couple of weeks, but he really hasn't let us mess with it. He has been frustrated because other kids his age are losing teeth and our girl , L has lost 3 since living with us! So he has been a little bummed.

Tonight at bath time he let me work on it a little but it just wouldn't come out, so he begged to go next door to see Pa.

*Sidenote - our neighbors, Greg and Becky, have daughters who are my friends and have grandkids that are our boys' best buddies, so my kids just call them Mimi and Pa and it is like a set of grandparents live next door, AMAZING!!! Anway, Pa is one heck of a tooth puller, it is legendary! Caden told me he was the best, and his daughter, my friend Mandy, was 2nd best. I guess that means Cory and I are chopped liver :)

So back to bath time...Caden asked if he could have Pa pull it, and since Cory was out of town, I agreed. He came back in no time with this
He was so excited and Mimi said he was so brave! Caden even told me this was the best night ever...melt my heart! He is so proud! I am a little sentimental though, can't believe my baby lost his first tooth :) Caden and Carter keep talking about how Cory will react when he returns from Africa...so cute! Caden also keeps asking me if he looks different, so if you see him around town and don't recognize him, let him know!

Caden! You look so grown up, buddy! That is exactly the tooth that Colin lost first...so we think you are definitely on the road to a mouth full of GAPS!! :)
