Who lost the first tooth in the Haderlie Home?

This is currently the ongoing joke in our home trying to make light of what happened.

We were watching some of our friends, Isabella and Faith, and Jason was trying to throw a pillow up to Isabella. While he was throwing it up, he hit his face on the rung of the bunk bed and started crying. I rushed in to see what had happened and there was blood everywhere. I carried Jason into the bathroom and then looked at his teeth. Both of his front teeth were pushed really far back. I was really worried about it. We were watching Isabella and Faith so we didn't have enough car seats to take everyone to the dentist.

I quickly called Kevin and he luckily was close by. He rushed home, grabbed Jason, and left. We have a couple of dentist/oral surgeons in our ward. Kevin called them and they said that it would probably be okay until the next day. They didn't seem so worried about it.

We ended up taking Jason to a dentist the next day. This dentist seemed a little crazy if I am putting it right. We just didn't click very well. He told me that Jason had broken the ligament on one of his front teeth. He compared it to the O rings in the challenger space shuttle. And how the O rings didn't work right and that is why the space shuttle exploded. And that is what was going to happen to Jason's adult teeth if we didn't pull it out. I wanted a second opinion.

So a couple days later we went to another highly recommended dentist. Unfortunately the first one wasn't crazy, and he also recommended that we pull one of Jason's front teeth.  So we had it pulled. Jason got some laughing gas. He was being so funny and giggly. We kept saying that it looked like he was wearing a
clown nose, and he just giggled. The dentist came in and numbed it up a little with a needle. That was the worst part for Jason. After he was numb, the dentist pulled the tooth. It took 2 seconds. Then it was all over.

He thinks it is the greatest thing having no tooth. He thinks it is so funny that he lost a tooth before Camille did even though she is older. He loved having the tooth fairy come and leave money, and he loved getting McDonalds after getting his tooth pulled. He was so brave and I was so proud of him.

He keeps trying to knock the other one out now. It just makes me laugh so much. He is the silliest and sweetest little boy. Love you Jason, thanks for keeping life interesting!
