About 3 weeks ago Nick started complaining that his bottom teeth hurt. When I looked I noticed that he was getting a permanent tooth behind his baby teeth - none of which he had lost yet. Ouch! I took him to the dentist and we were told it wasn't 9-1-1 but Nick needed to get his baby teeth out and wa-la one was loose. Nick promptly called his Grandpa John and ordered him to start making him a wiggle machine - whatever that is. For 10 days Nick has worked and worked on getting his tooth to come out. We were use to Jay who simply pulled his teeth out the second he noticed they were loose so this whole 10 day thing kind of threw us for a loop. Aunt Mimi even gave Nick a big head start yesterday but to no avail. I knew Nick was getting worried last night when he insisted we pray that his tooth wouldn't fall out while he was eating and that he wouldn't in turn swallow it! Tonight Mike and I could take no more. Nick was delighted to suck on a popsicle to get his gums numb for the big event. A little pull from daddy and out it came!
