Tooth out At LAST!

James has had a loose tooth for a couple of weeks now! It finally reached its REALLY loose point this week and has been hanging for days now. He is not one for pain and screams and screams if you get near it. There was one point at the beginning of this week that I think it was infected underneath the tooth because his breath smelled funny and it was red and swollen on the gums and he had a low grade fever. We kept reassuring him it would feel better once it was out. Last night we prepared him and told him we were going to pull it out in the morning. Well, this morning when we reminded him he freaked out and ran away. Well, I grabbed him and talked to him softly and of course he just wailed away. So we did it wailing and all, Michael put a string around it while I held him and I counted to three, all the while his wailing is going on. And on three Michael yanked, instant silence. We looked at him and asked him if it hurt and he said, NO! And was sooooo happy after that. He just mentioned to me a few minutes ago that he wants us to pull his other teeth with a string just like that the next time. Ok James, Silly BOY!
