Today my little boy has one less tooth and is $5.00 richer (I had nothing smaller in my wallet so we said that the first tooth you lose, you get the most money). Although he is 6, this is his very FIRST tooth to come out! My little boy is growing up way too fast!
Yesterday morning Jacob started to eat breakfast and cried in pain, "It hurts to eat!" After careful evaluation of his tooth, (and the permanent one growing behind it) I tried to tell him his tooth was ready to be pulled out.
So all day he suffered, eating soup for lunch and nibbling at dinner. Both Jeff and I tried to pull it out but he shrieked in terror with his big alligator tears "I'm too scared." So we left it alone and put him in the bath.
While Jake was in the tub, Jeff got a brilliant idea. He decided he would brush Jake's teeth for him while he was in the tub. He gently took the brush and massage it around the loose tooth (not telling Jake what he was doing) and then poof! Out popped the tooth! No one was more surprised than Jake. Daddy saved the day! We love our Dad!
Jake and the tooth
Last week Jake was in a short program at school entitled "Leo the Longhorn," where he was a cowboy. He had a terrible sinus infection but insisted on being in the play. He did not have much of a part in the show but was by far the cutest stink' in cowboy in the whole show!
And finally, my face as we head into the 3rd week after my surgery. Thank heavens for silicone scar strips; I've seen a dramatic improvement since I have been using them! And kudos to Dr. Martineau for his masterful stitchery!

Yeah Jake! Tooth losing must be in the air. This is the third blog I have read where a tooth or two were lost! So fun!
I thought you were looking great the last time I saw you and the this picture looks even better. Before long it will be un-noticable!
