The Tooth Fairy Has Arrived!

It's true! Anders lost his first tooth!
Granted, it didn't fall out by itself like most six year olds, but it is out and the tooth fairy did visit. Anders developed an abscess after he ground a small hole in the back of his upper front tooth. He had penicillin for a week and on Thursday topped that off with laughing gas and Novocaine. And then, TA DA - a small adorable tooth was removed from his mouth. The extraction was simple, he said it was fun (!) and he was up and running soon after. Only 19 more baby teeth to go - even though there are 24 baby teeth, we actually all only lose 20, keeping our back molars. Who knew?
