Let it be written....my son pulled out his very first tooth at 8 1/2 yrs old......lol. If you aren't familiar with the tooth saga then you must look at the label "Tooth Tales" in my other posts to get caught up.
So last night he came to me and told me it was loose and he wanted me to use dental floss to pull it out. To be honest I was tired and didn't want to deal with his "oh it hurts" drama. I told him we would look at it again in the morning.
See I already knew it was loose, I already had an appt made to have it pulled. This tooth fit the pattern of the adult tooth coming in behind before he lost the baby one. So he knew, once again, if he or dad didn't pull it, the dentist was going to. His appt was for tomorrow.
So this morning I had to try my best, because dad was sleeping, to pull it out. My son was insistent on using the dental floss so I honored his request and did my best. A couple yanks, a couple slips, some blood, and we were out of time. I told him to mess with it at school and it would probably come out.
So he looked one last time in the mirror pushing and pulling and then.....it spun 180 degrees....it was hilarious. Um mom.......now what do I do(arms flailing at his side)...I tried to swallow my laugh and say..YANK IT!!!!
I had to walk out....then out of the corner of my eye, I see this flash run by! I did it mom , I did it.....LOOK!!!
Success!! He yanked his own tooth out finally. funny thing is he doesn't look funny. Ya know why....his adult tooth is already in...no silly pics...
Now for the bum news... He went to brush his teeth and went to pick up his tooth, while brushing, and dropped it down the tooth down the drain. Poor guy. I felt so bad.
He now has a great story to take with him to school. So maybe today they will talk about loosing teeth instead of how to get a girlfriend..lol
