Yep, the tooth came out tonight! I told him it was time for the nightly wiggling and when I realized how loose it now was, I told him it was time to come out. He was the one who requested the string, since that is how it was done in the Bearnstein Bears book that we have. After a couple swipes at it with the string and one good tug with a paper towel (sheesh, there was a lot of slobber!!) he did the rest himself. At one point during the process he had to take a step back and say "don't cry" to himself a couple of times, I think not because it hurt but mostly because of the stress and anxiety of the unknown. The first person he wanted to call was Grandpa Shoff. When he got on the phone, DB said "Grandpa, I don't have to come to your office now because my mom pulled my tooth out." DB is very proud of himself and actually can't wait for the other loose one to come out too. It is cute to see him rubbing his tongue over the hole and gawking at himself in the mirror. Like I said, it is a rite of passage. He is a grown up now.

Congratulations, DB!! That is so cool!
Congratultions. Now starts the most awkward stage of his life. At least I think this stage is so funny. All the crazy big adult teeth and the little baby teeth just crack me up.
Way to go DB. Now work on the other one and you will have a big hole in your mouth. Those are the best.
I'm so proud of him for being so big about the whole ordeal! Give him a big "high 5" from us all. I still can't believe how big they are getting. Tell them to stop!
How cute Amanda! They are getting SO big!
Way to go Dallin! You look cute! Zach just lost his first one last Saturday and so these two must be on the same growth schedule. HaHa. I can't believe they are growing up so fast. Zach wouldn't let me do it though but had G. Shoff do it. One of the perks of living by family. Miss you guys! Loves~
