A Close Call....

The Tooth Fairy almost ran into Santa Claus at our house!!!

Nate lost his 2nd tooth on Christmas day (!!), though we thought it'd come out Christmas Eve. It started bleeding when he was brushing his teeth that night. And he was VERY preoccupied with it until bedtime, touching it and moving it with his tongue a lot.

It survived the night, and then was hanging on by a thread on Christmas morning, as seen here. (It's the super tall one on the bottom in the middle.)

Greg was bugging Nate most of the day to let him pull it out, but Nate refused. Then, while Abby was napping Christmas afternoon, Nate just decided to finally pull it out....himself! Greg watched him do it and said he didn't cry at all. He was just like "Wow, I got it out!" Which was a very different story from losing tooth #1 :) (Thank goodness b/c that was pretty traumatic!)

So here's my boy now, with tooth #2 gone!!

 (And see how the adult tooth is coming in super fast from tooth #1?! Crazy!)

And for those wondering, the Tooth Fairy brought $2 for his tooth. This will be the going rate from now on :)
