Kristjan looses his 2 front teeth!

Right before Memorial Day weekend, Kristjan went in to have his two front teeth pulled. His right front tooth started coming in behind a baby one (the tooth right next to the front one) and his "dead" tooth (which that one is his actual right front tooth). The "dead" tooth was loose, but as the permanent tooth started coming in, the loose one actually began to tighten up. And the left front baby tooth was beginning to get loose too, but we were afraid the same thing would happen with that one. Luckily Kristjan already had an appointment scheduled for his 6-month cleaning, so I was able to inquire about this without making a second appointment. The doctor agreed that both front baby teeth would need to be pulled. I was really happy for Kristjan to finally loose that ugly brown "dead" tooth. But too much time had passed with the permanent tooth coming in that I didn't get see Kristjan with a toothless gap (I thought Clifford was the cutest thing with his!). Oh well. So the day came for Kristjan to have his teeth pulled. He cried and fussed in the dentist chair. I couldn't believe how easy and quickly it was to yank those out! Later that afternoon Kristjan was leaving with Pete and Clifford to go on their annual guys-only camping trip, so he had Clifford help him write a note to the tooth fairy explaining that he would be gone but to please leave the money under his pillow. The "tooth fairy" wanted to try something different, so instead of leaving money, she left a gift. When Kristjan came back home, he was actually thrilled!

P.S. Kristjan will more than likely need braces. Yay! *eye roll*
