My Trenton has been losing teeth left and right.  I’ve been so excited to see both of his front teeth get looser as the summer as progressed and could already picture him with a giant window just in time for the first day of school!  Last week, one of his teeth had become so loose that it looked VERY crooked and would even stick out of his mouth when he tried to close it!  I had a wedding last Saturday and before I left for the day, I told Trenton, “don’t lose your tooth before I get back….”

We went boating on Sunday, loose tooth and all.  But the story wouldn’t be near as good without pictures to prove it.

The Funnest way to lose a tooth:

Step 1.  Hop on tube with Dad and go for a fun ride!

Step 2:  Hit some waves and be sure your face hits the tube.  Hard.  Notice his mouth and the tooth hanging on…literally!

Step 3:  Don’t panic.  Your dad’s a smart guy.  He instantly realizes you’ve hit your mouth and stops the ride (while he’s laughing).

Step 4:  Dad uses what strength he last left from hanging on to the tube to give your tooth a gentle tug…

Step 5:  Show off your new smile and celebrate knowing the tooth fairy will soon be making a visit!

And don’t forget the last step…keep wiggling the other one ;)  It’s only three weeks until school starts!!!  Hope everyone is staying cool this week!

Just two short weeks later, and Trenton is celebrating having his window complete….and the singing of “All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth” is on repeat mode :)  The second tooth came out in a much less dramatic fashion, but the excitement is still the same!
