Taylor's tooth

Taylor had a great trip to the dentist today!  The other teeth looked great after examining the x-rays.  Thankfully!!  The tooth that was knocked on Monday night did have to be removed.   Taylor was given a strawberry gas mask to breathe, Tom and Jerry to watch, and a very gentle doctor that gave painless novocaine.  Dave said that the tooth was out in a matter of seconds.  He didn't flinch or even cry.  I am so proud of my big boy!!  On the way home from the dentist, Dave and Taylor stopped to get some soft fries to eat for lunch and a bucket of toy soldiers to play with at home.  He has been playing with them for hours.  It is amazing how such a timeless toy still entertains little boys today.  I also love the fact that there are no batteries that accompany this toy!!

Here is a picture of Taylor minus one baby tooth.  Checked out his chapped lips- the poor guy barely drank anything for the past few days.
