I have a manly man on my hands...

[Dahliathemeh]

My son had his first loose tooth, and his new tooth began growing behind it.
So yesterday (2-19) he decided to just yank it out in the supermarket. In front of a mirror at the checkout line...

Cute little big man, Dahlia. He looks so happy. Thanks.

[Mags]

yup growing up to be tough . give him a congrats from us for that first tooth!

[North Country Gal]

Love it! Makes me want to hug him. Oh, the memories! Thanks for sharing.

[JEBar]

agree and congrats .... our granddaughters most certainly don't behave in that manner .... lets just say our little drama queens don't hesitate to convey the depth of their trauma ...

Good looking and brave young man there! I know you're proud..

[ESquared]

He is surely a manly man, and he looks none the worse for wear, having just self-extracted his own tooth (in public, no less!).

His future is certainly bright and full of adventure, and yours is going to be no less interesting!

Thanks for sharing and keep us posted on his further exploits!

Did he get a candy bar for that tooth.

[RanchRoper]

That is a great age. Cherish every moment.

[Travlin]

I bet that he will grow up to be very self reliant. It won't be long before he will want to go to the range for some shooting instruction.

He looks like one very (cute!) tough cookie, Dahlia. I hope the tooth faery was onhand to witness the event.

Update: the tooth fairy came for her visit, and dropped a 20 off for A: excellent tooth condition B: removing it on his own.

Tough little man you have there. Looking forward to following his future steps.

In 1954 dollars, that's a $.25! At least, that's what my tooth fairy dropped under my pillow.

My first was .10. Eventually up to .25.

Was born in '54 so I guess there was no inflation by around 58 cause I only got $.25. I just realized though that I don't remember what age I started losing mine! Funny how we lose them, grow them back, and then start losing them again.

I leave my teeth for the tooth fairy every night, but I think her satnav must be faulty.

[Dahliathemeh]

A few days ago I was working on dying some clothes. The little manly man was asking me about what I was doing. I tried to explain the process of dying, and even showed him the steps. I brought the clothes up to begin the process when he promptly asked, "are those the dead clothes?"

[Dahliathemeh]

So my little manly man lost his second tooth in the pool. SMH, I think it's in 10ft of water....

The tooth fairy has some diving to do....Mom!
Has the late snow melted there yet? Might be chilly!
