JD's Tooth!

JD lost his first tooth today!  Well actually, he had it pulled. Last week it cracked in half.  This was the tooth he has hit and jammed several times.  The tooth was turning grey and when it cracked last week, the pulp was exposed and smelled pretty gross (yuck!).  SO, we paid a visit to Dr. Maly and he thought it would be best to pull it.  He was concerned there might be an infection above the tooth.  SO, here's JD's new smile!

JD wasn't sure he wanted to put his tooth under his pillow tonight, because he wants to show his friends and he didn't want the Tooth Fairy to take it before he had that chance.  So, he wrote her a letter:

Dear Tooth Fairy

Please leave the tooth.

I will put my

tooth under my

pillow tomorrow.

He is the sweetest little guy I know!  I am so excited for him, but a little sad that he's growing up so darn fast!  Guess the Tooth Fairy will have to make a stop at the bank tomorrow.  What's a tooth going for these days, anyways? :)
