Here's a lighter story than my last post. . . :)
Just about 30 minutes ago, Jaxon had the wonderful experience of pulling his own tooth. We had been trying to get him to wiggle it as much as he would for the last few days. I took a look at it tonight and realized that it was very loose. I told Allen that he had to pull it tonight or it might fall out in his sleep and he could swallow it. Jaxon didn't like the sound of that. So I fiddled with it a bit and tried to get it out, but I had no luck. I refuse to pull too hard because this is only tooth #2 and we have so many more to go (his and his siblings) so I didn;t want there to be any fear or anxiety over it.
So after a few bloody paper towels, I told Allen to give it a try. He, of course, was very hesitant and came up with an excuse. "I just put lotion on my hands," he said. LOL Pulling teeth is not his thing. He must get that from his mom. She told me that she would never touch her boys' teeth either. She hated the thought of it. So, I stepped up once again and got in there. (what a bunch of babies. . .it's just a tooth. I cleaned up vomit all day long today, so I think I can handle a little tooth. lol I'm totally teasing them!)
So long story short (yeah right), Jaxon got in there and twisted the little sucker right out. I wish I could have captured his reaction on tape. He was thrilled! He jumped up and down with excitement. He was just overjoyed with the fact that HE DID IT!!!!! I was so proud of him. He was smiling and laughing all with blood running down his mouth. It was gross and hilarious all at the same time. I am glad Allen was right here when it happened. It was one of those priceless moments that we will always remember. What a great ending to our day!!!
