Gone

One night (December 17th), during my Bible study, Ben came running down the steps to announce to all of us that he had a loose tooth.  I wiggled it, but it didn't feel that loose.  It didn't feel loose for the next month either, but Ben insisted it was going to come out any day.  Well, yesterday was the day.  We had a little help from Gram.  I can handle a lot of gross kid stuff, but when it comes to teeth, I'm out.  Jon couldn't get a good grip on it so Gram stepped in and yanked it out.  Ben was a little freaked out by the blood, but he did great.
