Ian loses his first tooth

After many weeks of having a loose tooth and lots and lots of encouragement from mom and dad, Ian lost his first tooth which he pulled out all by himself!  We encouraged him to do it himself by telling him that part of growing up is taking out your first loose tooth.  It would have been easy to do it for him as he asked repeatedly for help.  Knowing the best way to help him was by encouraging him, we waited for him to finally take it out.  Way to go Ian!  Mommy and Daddy are SO proud of you!
