michael and the dentist

Today Michael was a brave boy. He went to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. He had a baby tooth that did not come out before the permanent tooth grew in behind it. He noticed it on Saturday - he said all excited, "Mommy, mommy, I have a loose tooth." I looked and then responded, "It better be loose, as you big boy tooth is growing in already." The dentist wanted to see him - and remove the tooth. Two shots and a pull later he had his bottom front left tooth out. He was so brave - he did not even cry - he just squeezed my hand very tightly. Now the tooth fairy has to visit :)
