Teeth

It is already starting, and I am still not ready!  Helaman lost his first tooth.  It came as a complete surprise.  We were eating dinner and all the of sudden he says he has a loose tooth.  He came over to wiggle it for me and not only is this thing loose, his tooth that has never been noticed, is hanging by not even a thread.  After dinner he said that he wanted Xenia to pull it out.  She has somehow become the official tooth puller.  Out comes the floss, then the fears, the panic, and the tears.  Somehow this behavior drives me crazy.  If they don't want it out, then don't ask.  Anyway, I finally got on the floss on his tooth and Xenia took ahold of the end of the floss, and before we knew it, the tooth was out.  It was so loose that it looked like the floss only slid off of the tooth.  But the tooth just slipped out.

This event has happened much to soon for my calendar.  My first thought was taking him in for an emergency dentist visit, because he is not old enough to loose a tooth.  He is suppose to be my little chubby baby, but alas no. He is five and is a growing boy who eats three eggs for breakfast.  And now he has less teeth to remind me that he is growing up.
