First Tooth!

When I took Ben to the dentist for a check up last week they found an abscessed tooth! He'd had work on that tooth before and it wasn't bugging him at all, but we were told the tooth had to be pulled.  Thankfully, it was a baby tooth!  So, today was the day.  I was more nervous than Ben was!

He had a couple other cavities that had to be filled first and they were worse than the tooth being pulled. Once the tooth was pulled they had to put in a spacer too so that the other teeth wouldn't move into the space.

 He was excited to see the tooth, but then was totally freaked out by it.  He wouldn't touch it!  He's just anxious to see what the tooth fairy will bring!

Update:  The tooth fairy remembered to come and brought him 20 dimes!  We know because Emma got up nice and early, snuck in to Ben's room to look and then sat and counted them out!  She then woke Ben up so that he could see!  Ha! Ha!  The more coins the more money... right?!
