On the other hand his other front tooth has been loose for at least a month now, but he has been unsuccessful in pulling it out. We started telling him last Friday that he needed to get wiggling and get it out as it was starting to be discolored. On Saturday he said he couldn't pull it out because it hurt too much... However the tooth was crooked... He did look a little strange. Monday morning we still did not have any luck with the tooth, but I decided to wiggle it before he headed off to school. I could see the very top of the front of the tooth and knew that he would loose it at school... probably when he was eating lunch. I explained to him that he needed to pay attention when eating and realize that his hamburger is not hard... so that if it came loose while eating that he wouldn't swallow it. When he arrived off the bus... I got a huge smile! The tooth was gone... He proceeded to tell me that he was eating his hamburger and realized that it was in his mouth... Talk about a mother's intuition!
So the tooth is out and we are now hoping that both front teeth come in soon... We can see the new tooth coming in for the one he just lost, but the other one is just not through yet... I am not sure how much longer we need to wait for that one, but I hope it is not another 2 yrs!
Oh and by the way... He still doesn't have all of the one bottom tooth in... so you could say that he is minus 3 teeth right now.
