Loose Teeth

Kade has been so anxious to lose a tooth.  He was very jealous of all the kids his age who have already started to lose their teeth.  But when he touched his tooth the other night and realized it was loose he panicked!    He was flossing his teeth and started screaming and crying - I had no idea what was wrong until he started yelling, "my tooth is loose!"  He was hysterical - he kept saying that he didn't want his baby teeth to fall out and that he wanted to keep them forever.  When we finally calmed him down enough for us to take a look - we saw that both bottom teeth are loose.  Which made him even more mad.  :)  The next day he told all his friends at church and after they all thought it was cool I think he has started to warm up to the idea of them falling out.  He told all his friends it was because he ate so many carrots that it made his teeth loose.  One of his friends went home and told him mom he wanted to eat more carrots so his teeth will get loose too!  
He will not let us touch it, but it is really close to just falling out on its own.

I will have to tell Miya about the carrots. She wants to loose a tooth so bad and really is the last one in her class at both church and school that has not lost one. There aren't even any hinting at coming out right now.
Glad you had a good time in Vegas. What is happening with Rich's work?

That is so funny that he freaked out about a loose tooth - especially when he knew they would fall out. Good luck with that, I remember not wanting dad to pull my teeth out because I thought it would hurt so bad.
