Well it was definitely a work in progress but Ian finally lost his first tooth! The dentist told him to work on wiggling it his bottom two teeth and he worked really really hard. That tooth was seriously stuck and sadly it to a few really good tugs. I found the movie "The Tooth Fairy" and we would watch that a couple times and just wiggle his tooth the entire movie. He was so kind to the tooth fairy and wanted to be sure they could easily find his tooth. He left them notes how to get to his room and even had the tooth on the end of his pillow so it was easy for them to get. The tooth fairy even left a mirror message just like Tim's Tooth fairy used too.
He loved showing off his new missing tooth.
It wasn't more than a couple days after losing his tooth that Ian mention he had something stuck behind other tooth. Apparently he is a shark boy...awwww. Thankfully after talking to my cousin we realized it is not that uncommon and to do our best to get the other tooth out. If it doesn't come out after a week or so to head into the dentist. Considering the first tooth took four weeks with a lot of work I wasn't getting my hopes up. As a child myself I rarely lost a tooth on my own -majority of them had to be pulled by the dentist.
But we gave it our best try and with little movement we eventually ended up here...
This poor boy has my teeth...crazy long roots that hold strong :( The dentist ended up pulling a couple more teeth as well to make room for his permanent ones. Ian was so good. After the dentist had finished and took off the laughing gas Ian asked, "when are you going to start?" The dentist informed him they were already done and Ian could hardly believe it.
Within an hour he was on the mountain skiing like a pro. Plus he was so excited to inform his classmates that he lost three teeth. He said that no one had ever lost three teeth in one day before. Way to look on the bright side buddy!
