Here is a closer look.....
Bless the boy's heart. I didn't even know he had a loose tooth!So I (Britt) am sitting on the bonus room couch taking a book break when Ethan comes in from the living room where he was playing with a car/helicopter building set.
He walks in and says: "Mom, I lost a tooth". Before I glance up from my book I'm thinking "Yah right. He's pretending and playing a game." Fully prepared to play along for a bit I look up and see that he looks concerned and a bit teary eyed..... and holding something in his hand.
Then I think, "Great. He must have hit his mouth on the wooden rocking chair or something."
Nope. Unbeknownst to me - or anyone else - he had had a loose tooth for a few days!
I guess he had been wiggling it and wiggling it and just yanked it out!
So brave. He hadn't told Dad or I about it and had been worried about it for a couple days. Then he just bravely yanks it out himself!
I informed him he could tell Dad or I next time (that he can tell Dad and I anytime anything is worrying him) .... and that it's OK to let the tooth fall out on its own :)
Kaylin's reaction?
"My big brother is growing up!"

Oh, the poor boy! He must have been afraid. Guess he was not told that he would lose all his teeth and then get new ones? I love Kaylin's reaction! Yes, he is growing up.
No. We've talked about it. He had friends and classmates lose teeth last year. Just a change, something new :)
ewwww!!!! but way to go ethan! :)
Ah yes...a change; something new. Knowing Ethan, that explains his uneasiness with it.
