Pumpkin Face

Brett has had this loose tooth forever.  Seriously forever.  It seemed like it wasn't getting any looser, until yesterday in the middle of church.  He announced that he could move it sideways as well as forward and backward.  I asked him if he could spin it.  My sister was always proud of her tooth-spinning abilities, mostly to gross out my dad (it worked every time).  I figured that would start to really loosen it up - have him work on spinning it.  Fast forward to Panera, our usual Sunday hang out, and his usual breakfast - an entire cinnamon roll and half of an apple.  Todd told him to bite with his front teeth and guess what?!  Nope, it didn't fall out, but it did start bleeding.  I shot Todd this look that said, "get that tooth out now - it's gross!"  And sure enough, Brett let him pull it right there.  He was so proud that he finally lost that tooth!  The tooth fairy wrote him a letter and brought him a dollar last night.  I have pictures of that too, but, for now, here is a cell phone pic of the proud toothless boy!  Kate started calling him "Pumpkin Face" because he looks like a jack-o-lantern.  Funny kids.

Toothless Brett!
