Toothless

Boop, up until about a month ago, had not lost a single tooth.  He is 7!  So, one day while he was brushing his teeth, we noticed a couple of white things popping out of his gums right behind his two front baby teeth.  The dentist had warned me about that.  And to be on the look out.

That meant he had to have his teeth pulled.  The two front baby teeth were not even wiggly.  Boop fretted a little bit about having them pulled.  The appointment was scheduled for the first thing on a Monday morning.  We prayed about it and talked about being scared and that it is OK to be scared.  Daddy took him to the dentist.  And I had mentioned to daddy to go easy on him. ;)

According to daddy, when they called his name he got up and went right back.  Not a moment of hesitation. Or ever looking back.  Within a half hour he was done!  He was a champ!!

He came home with gauze where his teeth use to be.  Not a moments complaint.  It took us a little bit to get use to him not having those teeth.

He is still as cute as ever . . .
