The tooth fairy visits Tyler

I had been waiting anxiously for Tyler to start losing his teeth as his friends are all losing their teeth like crazy. During the last dental cleaning, the dentist pointed out that his permanent teeth were nearly coming thru, BUT, the baby teeth weren't showing much signs of movement. He gave us 2 weeks for the baby teeth to fall out on its own before he was going to yank them out.

2 weeks later, his permanent teeth had actually nearly fully grown and yet, still no sign of the baby teeth falling. So, into the dentist office we went!

Tyler was rather upbeat about the whole thing. He willingly climbed on the dentist bed and took the laughing gas and the numbing cream AND even the needles without a wince. I was fully impressed!!(Maybe i should change dentist!!). And after a few minutes, he went in and just yanked the 2 teeth out, just like that. Tyler remained cool as a cucumber, while i was secretly freaking out inside!

Both the teeth still had roots on them which i guess explains why they were not moving. Weird.. I asked him if it hurt and he said no.. hmm..

Last picture with his baby teeth!

And he's done! He's just zoning out...

Oh, right, tooth fairy did visit his room that night. He woke up super early the next day and ran to our room all excited to show us the $4 he got for his teeth!!
