Simon got his tooth pulled at the dentist today!
Simon's front right tooth has been loose since December (over 8 months!). The new tooth had already started growing in behind it so that his old tooth was pushed way forward. See picture after the jump. We'd tried some extremes to get that darn thing out. But generally he wouldn't let anyone but himself touch it because he was worried it'd hurt.

Because of the nerves, he had nitrous gas at the dentist, numbing cream and then a small novocaine shot. Thankfully it didn't hurt him at all and he was so relieved to have it done he was laughing at the end - or maybe that was the laughing gas. Dentist said that the tooth still had a pretty good root on it so it would have been really hard to pull at home, especially if he was nervous about it. Hopefully no more tooth drama!
