Scrubba's Lost A Tooth!



The other day, Scrubba came up to me and said that there was something stuck behind his tooth. We had just eaten popcorn, so I thought it was a kernel or something. I had him brush and floss etc. He said it was still there, so I took a look and....he had a permanent tooth coming in behind his baby teeth! The permanent tooth was one and a half times the size of his baby tooth...and that seemed like it would be a problem! One of his baby teeth wiggled, but just a little bit, but the other one in the way didn't hardly move at all! We called the dentist, and he told us to wiggle it ourselves for a few days to see if we could get it out on our own, and if that didn't work to have him come in for an extraction! Long story short, we ended up with an extraction and Scrubba had lost his 1st tooth! He was sooooooo excited. He and his daddy went to the store to get some ice cream to celebrate and while they were there, the necklace holding the lost tooth fell off in the parking lot and Scrubba was pretty worried. But don't worry, our Super Hero Dad found the necklace, and the tooth in no time flat! Scrubba could not sleep all night, he was too anxious about the Tooth Fairy coming! Finally, at 4 A.M. he called me to come into his room so that he could tell me that the Tooth Fairy had come, and had left him a card. He refused to look at it though...he wanted to wait until the morning! When he woke up, he was happy to find his surprise! It was a fun day, and now KK is constantly asking if the dentist is going to take out her teeth!

How fun. We are really slow at losing teeth here at the Roth house. Witnee keeps hoping soon, but I don't think so! What a fun day:)

Too funny! And KK is really starting to look like a little girl- not a baby- anymore. Life just moves WAY too fast sometimes. Wasn't Scrubba just a little baby a few months ago?

Logan keeps asking how old Scrubba is and when he will loose his tooth. He thought it was the coolest trick. :)
