Well last night was a big night in the Darrow household! Alex lost his first tooth. Although it might have been more of me pulling it out than it just falling out but either way it is out. His bottom 2 teeth have been loose since before Christmas... and I mean really loose. We thought for sure that he would lose them by Christmas or New Years at the latest, but no. And the worst part was that his adult teeth have grown in.
So on Tuesday we had a dentist appointment and she showed me how to put him in a head lock and pull them out. Obviously she has never tried to put a 5 Yr old in a headlock and yank out teeth.
So On Tuesday night Rob and I had him laying across us holding one of our hands and one of us holding his head while we tried EVERYTHING! No luck. Last night I wiggles and wiggled and told him him I was going to yank it out. He asked if it was going to hurt and I told him he just had to " man up and be brave." And yes I actually said man up to my 5 yr old!
Then 1, 2, 3 yank and the tooth was out! He was sooooo excited. I asked if it hurt and he said no because he had maned up. HAHA!! He was ginning from ear to ear and so excited to put it under his pillow and get his money from the tooth fairy. I heard she gave him a little extra since the tooth has to be pulled out. All day today he was showing everyone the hole in his mouth and his tooth. ( It was in a plastic bag)
Now it is time for the next tooth to come out! Hopefully he will sit nice for this one and just let me yank!
