The BIG news around the Russell house from this weekend is that Brayden finally lost his first tooth. It has been wiggly for months and we recently noticed that his adult tooth was coming in behind it. After a call to our dentist and a pediatric dentist, we learned this is preety normal and they said for us to just try to work it out ourselves. Well, we've been working, but not really making much progress all month. Finally last night, Kevin pulled it! I was really apprehensive about how the whole " tooth-losing" would be. I was afraid it would be pretty traumatic, tears...etc...and I was afraid that however this first one went, that may set the tone for all to follow! Well, it went GREAT! Like so many other things I have blown out of proportion w/ worry as a Mom, Brayden did soo much better than I thought he would! NO tears, only lots of blood, and exuberant joy to finally have a gap in his smile! All of Braydens friends have already lost multiple teeth. So I'm sure he is glad he has joined that elite club too! :0) Oh, I did I mention to tooth fairy left him $10?!? Wow - if that isn't evidence of inflation - don't know what it! Oh yeah, and the FIFO stands for "first one in, first one out". This was the first tooth Brayden got when he was 11 mos old while we were at St Simon's Island. Just a bit of trivia!
Oh yeah - sorry for the sabbatical from posting! I promise, I'll try to do better~ "try" being the key word! :-)
