TOO many teeth!

Eric's right front tooth is loose and just about to fall out of his mouth. He has been hanging out on the bathroom counter in front of the mirror checking his tooth out all day. He takes breaks to come show Justin or myself how loose it is. We have both tried to talk him into pulling it, or letting us do it. He was almost convinced a few times and changed his mind.

I remember how much I hated when my mom would pull our teeth out as soon as she knew they were the slightest bit loose. I wanted to give him some time to get it out and most of all for him to be mentally prepared. He had dental floss tied around the tooth, I tried to talk him out of it, and then he completely freaked out! He slowly pulled the floss off the tooth and kept it safely in his mouth.

He is really trying to preserve this tooth, so he chews on the left side of his mouth only. I wonder how much longer this will last. He asked me a few times to pull the tooth out, but I had to pull gently... he didn't want it to hurt. I'm not sure how to pull gently, but I gave it a try. I think the tooth will live another day, but not much longer...

Lindsay thinks she is teething right now, I don't know which is worse!
