that's what friends are for

Luke had a loose tooth that was needing to come out for awhile now, since way before his birthday.

He babied it like crazy, it's only his second one.

I had Amanda take a look at it yesterday and she told Luke she would try and pull it.

Pulling teeth is just not my thing.

He was okay with it and just stood there frozen while she tried and tried.

Abigail even took a turn at it too.

The tooth was so little that it was hard to get a hold of not to mention that he kept his lip pulled up tight protecting it.

Amanda did mention to him that you would get more money from the tooth fairy if you had a friend pull it.

Isn't she sweet.

With that new incentive he stayed standing still while she tried some more and then

finally that little tooth was pulled.

Luke had a few mixed emotions, first shock, then maybe excitement because we were all clapping and cheering for him and then the crying started.

Poor thing, I sat down with him and asked him what was wrong and he just said that he missed his tooth!

Later that night he told me that it was his favorite tooth because it was like a dog's tooth, sharp and pointed and he missed it.

What a brave boy he was!

He was happy to put the tooth under his pillow though and left a note and drawing for the tooth fairy.

He was even more happy this morning when he found his four dollars and the fairy dust left behind knowing that she had really been there.

So even though this looks a little like torture

he was so brave

and strong

It's finally out!

Who knew that's what friends were for!

Thanks Amanda & Abigail
