Well, today Lucas lost a tooth....actually he had it pulled by the dentist. Lucas' front teeth have not had a very good life....he first fell on the driveway and bunged them up pretty good, then fell and hit his sisters head with them. Anyway, the left front one abscessed about a year ago and has since turned a lovely shade of brown. So, at this last dentists appointment they recommended that it be pulled. So, that is what we did this morning. Lucas was very brave and didn't even flinch...now he is the proud owner of a gap in his smile that the dentist says will probably be there for at least a year...oh well he is already thinking of all kinds of fun things that he can do without a front tooth...he is eager to try drinking with a straw! Here are the before and after pics!
Before...see that kinda brown tooth?
And the after shot....he looks pretty happy! Oh, he also got to turn the train on at the dentist. (The dentist has a train that runs around on a track near the ceiling...the hygenist said it is pretty rare for the dentist to let anyone turn it on except himself....it must be Lucas' great blue eyes!)

Lucas is still just as cute as ever! Anna also had to have her first tooth extracted about 6 weeks ago. Such brave kids we have!
