Jesse's top tooth has been loose for 2 or 3 months! He started getting a huge gap in his mouth and the tooth has started sticking out at really odd angles. It's a pretty goofy look. It was time for the tooth to come out. Desperate times, call for desperate measures.
Don't let this brave face fool you, he totally cried A LOT through this process.
No matter how hard we pulled we could NOT get that tooth out!
He cried and cried when Tim worked on him. So we finally let him go. Then last night I said let me try 3 times. On the third try it slipped right out and Jesse didn't even know. He never shed a tear. I just sat there silently waiting for him to notice.
He was SO proud. I gotta say though, this is a super cute picture. I love his baby face. BUT...this is it. It's the end and honestly I have a few tears. I will never be back in baby land. It's only BIG teeth and bigger problems from here on out. HOWEVER, I am not looking back with any regret, nor am I looking forward with any fear (okay, maybe a little). My tears are only to mark the end of this era. I am so excited for this new era. I have been challenged by friends not to fear what is ahead but to embrace it. Tim and I set the tone for the kids, so we choose to be excited about what's ahead and all the changes in bodies, hearts and life. I am asking God to show me what to show my kids to be excited about for the near future. What's great about growing up for them in this season here and now? What an amazing privilege to be a mom to Annie, Toby and Jesse.
