Now ya see it...

Now ya don't!

Benson had to get his front tooth pulled yesterday. He had an abscess (an infection filled bubble) on his gum which could cause a number of different problems; so the best solution was to get the tooth out. I'm pretty sure I was more nervous for him about getting it pulled than he was. But it ended up being no big deal. The dentist numbed the gum without any problems and then pulled it out as slick as pie. No tears, no fighting..."easy peasy," as Benson likes to say! Benson couldn't be happier about it. Some of his other friends have started to lose their teeth so he's thrilled that he fits right in with them now! He said he hopes he get's a "bubble" on his other teeth so he can get those pulled too. He can't wait to go to the dollar store to get a special toy (a.k.a. piece of plastic that will probably be broken, lost, or forgotten about by the end of the week) with his tooth fairy earnings too! I guess this means he's getting old! First tooth. GONE!

Fun! And I so agree with you about the Dollar store toys...CHEAP! And why do we even bother? I feel the same way about Happy Meal toys too!
Benson is growing up. that is great. It is super to watch him grow. Children just grow too fast. So you have to enjoy them every minute of the day.
Love ya.
Sorry I have been out of touch for a while with women's conference, Easter, Weddings, Mother's Day, and just fun times! Anyway - glad to see things are doing better at your end of the world. Benson - you lost your first tooth on Grandpa Greats birthday - that's SPECIAL! Guess we can call you "Toothless Johnnie" for a while! Wow - you are growing up too fast! Sure do love you!!
