Benny the tooth-puller

Benny lost his first tooth last weekend. "Fine-a-wee," he said. His friends in kindergarten are acting like snakes poking their tongues through big gaps in their tooth-line and he hasn't been able to play along.

We didn't even know Benny's tooth was loose until he pulled it out himself.

He said he kept feeling something weird with his tongue. It was the adult tooth growing in BEHIND the baby tooth. So, braces are in our future.

Benny was checking this situation out in the mirror when he saw how wiggly that baby tooth was. Max was like, "DON'T DO IT!!!! IT'S GOING TO HURT!" And Benny was like, "what, like this?" Yoink. Out it came.
