Teeth and Pump

Today was a big day for Cruz. He has had 2 loose teeth on the bottom for a couple of weeks now. The big teeth were starting to come in behind them and they were coming up crocked so I was worried we were ruining permanent teeth. Every time I tried to wiggle his teeth though, he totally freaked out. So, we made a dentist appointment. With the help of a little laughing gas and some numbing serum, the dentist pulled Cruz's 2 little teeth without Cruz even flinching. Cruz is very excited for the tooth fairy to come tonight. He keeps asking questions like, Does she bring toys?, How does she get into the house? Is she even real? The excitement is high! I can't believe my little boy has 2 teeth out of his mouth already, it made me kind of sad! He is growing up too fast!

We went for a little slurppy treat after the dentist because all of the kids were total gems at the dentist office. We came home and ate them out on the back deck. Then the kids went down to play. Cruz said, "look mom!" He got on the swing and started pumping and got himself going very high! I was so impressed. He told me he has been working on that at school all week. Although this is also a sign of growing up, I am glad he has mastered this skill!

Cruz was a little funny on the laughing gas, he kept touching the nurse and wanted to grab the light up above!
