One of the things Steve and I have talked about is how messed up our childrens' teeth are going to be. The orthodontist we eventually pick is going to love us! Thomas hasn't had any loose teeth until recently. I thought it was kind of strange that most of his other friends have all lost many teeth and he hadn't lost any. A couple of weeks ago he told me that his tooth was loose. I was thrilled. I told him to "work on it" and to wiggle it whenever he thought about it. Weeks passed and the tooth wasn't making any progress. Him and I were at lunch a couple of weeks ago and I happened to catch a glimpse of his mouth. His permanent tooth was already grown in, right behind his baby tooth. His baby tooth was still loose, but I could tell it was going to take some effort to pull it out because nothing was pushing it up and out. I thought for sure we were going to end up at the dentist to have his baby teeth pulled ( I had to have almost all my baby teeth pulled because they wouldn't come out on their own).
Monday night we were at Costco and the tooth worked itself out! Now we just have to work on all the rest.

What a cutie! My kids' teeth are strong buggers too. Neither of them want to let go.
