So for the last couple weeks he has been playing with that tooth trying to make it more and more loose. We had a look in his mouth the other day and noticed that Owen is a shark. Yes, a shark. The new tooth coming in is not under the baby tooth but behind that tooth. Just how sharks have teeth that grow in rows! After having our friend Kaulana (who is a dentist) look at it, we decided that that baby tooth needed to be pulled to make room for the new tooth to move up.
After a few days of being scared to pull it, today was the day!! I tied some dental floss to the bathroom door, hooked the other end around his tooth and that little tooth came right out! I didn't even slam the door shut!
Now we have a cute little boy with a cute little gap! Oh, and tooth number two is loose now too!!
If you look closely, you can see that other tooth back there! |
