Charlie's tooth (4/28)

Charlie has lost another tooth! He seems to be losing a lot of teeth this year.  And actually, it probably could have taken a few more days to come off. But it was super wiggly and he mentioned how uncomfortable it was especially when he had his aligners on. At one point, his tooth was actually stuck to his aligners! He was so brave to wiggle it and then managed to pull it off!

Charlie then went ahead and found our little bunny bag.  This was a gift from a friend since the boys were toddlers :-)
It's his lower left 2nd molar.  Based on some diagrams on the internet, the age to lose this tooth is between 10-12 years old. So he is right on time!

And he totally thinks I'm behind the Tooth Fairy, recognizing my handwriting. Ha!
I keep trying with that flossing and brushing!  We actually bought the boys' new electric toothbrushes recently.  This time we opted for Philips Sonic (vs. Oral B). And everything is "connected"!  We can keep track of how often they brush, for how long, and even if they are using the proper pressure! 
Nothing is recorded here right now because I am not close enough to sync up with his toothbrush from the living room.  But what amazing technology!  So much for using just a regular toothbrush these days. Soon enough, toilets are going to be "connected" - for what I'm not sure yet but I'm sure there will be a market for that one day. LOL!!
