Last summer when my niece was up visiting, she had a loose tooth that Grandpa Sumsion pulled out. This is some sort of tradition that Grandpa will tie some floss around the kids teeth and pull them out for them, then pay them a two dollar bill and take a picture. Ever since Benson saw what a fuss everyone made over his cousin he has been DYING to have a loose tooth! We went to the dentist in October and the hygienist said that one of Benson's teeth was going to be getting loose any day now... Well about two weeks ago it was visibly wiggly! For two weeks Benson wiggled this little tooth and Grandpa checked it three different times to see if it was 'ready.' Thursday night it was finally there, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Sumsions, Grandpa tied some floss around it, and Benson yanked it out! He was pretty brave and said it just hurt a little bit! (On a side note, the tooth fairy forgot to come, she also only had a dollar in change...no dollar bill...so she had to leave it in an envelope outside his room, and he got to keep his tooth, he thinks it was because it was his first one!)

yaaaaa!!! for Benson. The tooth fairy always forgets at my house. They just expect to not see anything for 3 or 4 days and are surprised when she does come the first night.

So cute! Sarah just lost the bottom middle two! You are lucky to have someone who will pull them out! We aren't too keep on that! Richard had to pull the pliers out! Such joy!
