Kaleb lost his first tooth!

We noticed a little wiggly tooth in Kaleb's mouth so I encouraged him to wiggle it like crazy!  He wiggled and wiggled it for days!  Then one day he came up to us and asked us how to get it out - Joe's eyes lit up and the thought of pulling out his first tooth!  Kaleb patiently sat there as dad tried to tie the string to the tooth but it was so little that the string just slid right off when trying to tighten it!  Luckily Grandpa Whitney was there to show dad how to do it!  Grandpa carefully wrapped the string around the tooth and as he went to tighten it down on the tooth...POP...it popped the tooth right out!  Kaleb giggled like crazy as he saw that his tooth was out and it didn't even hurt!!  So its official, Grandpa Whitney pulled Kaleb's first tooth!  Kaleb got to experience the tooth fairy that night as well, he carefully slid his tooth under his pillow and woke up to find a one dollar bill in its place!  He put it in his piggy bank and has been checking his teeth daily to see if any more will wiggle!
