First Tooth

About a week and a half ago Jacob told us that his two bottom front teeth were loose.  When we took a closer look we noticed that his new teeth were coming in... beginning to bulge through his gums on the back side...ouch! After talking to his dentist we found out that this happens a lot and 'usually' the tongue will push his new teeth in the correct spot once the baby teeth fall out.  She did say that if the tooth isn't coming out that they would assist in removing it... no thank you!  So we told him to wiggle like he never wiggled before!  
Last night one of them seemed to be getting a lot looser so he was relentlessly cranking on it.  We finished stories and the boys were tucked in bed.  No more than 5 minutes later Jacob comes running out of his bedroom with tooth in hand and blood running down his chin.  He was so excited!  All four of us just stood in the bathroom laughing at his bloody face in the mirror.  It looked like he was in a fight.
