Yay! I’m so glad it went well. That must be so much easier to have them in the same place, woo hoo!
Rhett lost his first tooth right before Christmas. He was very afraid of the unknown, no matter how many times we explained it to him. He thought all of his teeth would fall out at once & said “how am I going to eat?” It was loose for about 3 weeks, and it came out right before dinner. He turned white as a ghost & almost passed out, basically having a little kid panic attack. We had to pull out a game on our phone to distract him. He calmed down, but then refused to chew any food, so he wouldn’t eat dinner that night. He has a special pillow for his teeth, so we put it next to his bed since he’s a super light sleeper. Before bed, he said “Can I have 5’s and 10’s?” Um, NO! LOL! I laughed my butt off watching Scott try to swap it out on our camera. Everything was okay by morning, and the new tooth is coming in. No other loose teeth right now. Now that he knows it’s no big deal, hopefully he’ll be more excited next time 🙂
I was sentimental about it because it was the first tooth he ever got in at 6 1/2 months, and it’s just a reminder of how fast he’s growing up 🙁
