Minus One More

It was just 2 weeks ago that I posted on a Big milestone in Eli's life.  His first loose tooth.  Well in the past 2 weeks, he has been non-stop working on the next one.  Can't get him to leave them alone.

 

So last night, he was all excited because Daddy said it was loose enough to pull out.  He wanted to do something "fun". 

He patiently stood for Daddy to tie the floss to the door and his tooth.

 

 

I was laughing, Ron kept saying, "he's drooling". 

It took a little while to get the floss tied on.

 

 

But finally he was ready. 

I thought for sure he would chicken out. 

I remember my Dad doing the same thing with my brother, Jay. 

Except he just kept standing there and finally Dad slammed the door for him.

 

Not Eli, he did it himself.  This is the best action shot I have!

 

 The final shot!

(please excuse the dust on the back of the door, guess I need to clean a little more in the boys room!)

 

 

As it turns out, it was just Ron and I that witness the tooth pulling.  Ronnie was working on homework and Nathaniel and Maddie had decided they really didn't want to see it, so they left the room.  They neither one like to see anyone hurting!

Eli laughed, and was so excited. 

Then he announced...my top two are loose too! 

Oh no, here we go again.

 

By Easter he will have one huge gaping hole in the front of his head!
