Loose-Tooth-itis?

I think I am allergic to loose teeth! Our youngest son, Alex, is 7. One by one, his teeth are leaving him! He lost one front tooth a month ago. The last few days his other front tooth is just hanging by a thread and has slowly gravitated to the middle of his mouth. He shows everyone how much it wiggles and yanks and pulls on it to show us! This is as bad as fingernails on a chalkboard for me!
Thankfully, the tooth fell out yesterday...and Alex was overjoyed! He had to call his Papa at work and tell him the good news. The tooth fairy came and delivered $1 for it. My older boys quickly complained they never got that much for a tooth. Inflation?
I am relieved the wiggly front teeth are gone. Alex says he looks like a pumpkin...and he does! Big gaps in his mouth everywhere. It will be a difficult summer for corn on the cob for him!

Until next time....
