Lost!

Jack FINALLY lost that top front tooth. That thing has been hanging on by a thread for the last week or so. It had been pretty loose before, but then after an unfortunate boogie boarding mishap it became REALLY loose. John tried his dental floss trick to get it out, but that didn’t do it. I really wanted it out before the first day of school just in case it was bloody (which would totally freak Jack out and possibly cause tears during the first day) and messy. So after me wiggling the hell out of it all day at the beach and "hocking" Jack all day that we should just pull it out, I ended up discussing it with Uncle Joe A. As it happens, Uncle Joe is apparently an expert tooth remover- in addition to being a better lifeguard than the real lifeguards at the beach, a master plumber (that’s his real life job), a gormet chef, a fireman, and Malibu Barbie Joe- so after much convincing, Jack allowed Joe to pull it. Jack was standing there just waiting for the pain and as he was bracing himself, Joe was already showing Jack his tooth! Easy peasy.

So here he is with his big hole where there should be a tooth. The other front one is pretty loose too. I am just hoping he has John’s nice straight teeth, instead of mine. We’ll just wait and see…
