Yesterday, the boys were playing Wii, and I guess one of Liam's bottom teeth must have been bothering him because we was messing with it. While he was doing what ever it was he was doing with it, it "made some noises" (Liam's words), and it was all of a sudden, wiggly! Very wiggly in fact. It would almost lay down flat when pushed forward by his tongue.
He was pretty surprised and happy about it. Right away, Duncan told him the tooth fairy would come when the tooth was out. Plus I think Liam enjoyed the attention and felt a bit "grown up" to be losing a tooth. I think he remembers Duncan's teeth being loose and coming out.
Anna thought that she could probably pluck it out McAlister style, but we decided to at least wait till bed time. It wasn't even lunch time yet. Plus we figured, after a day of Liam not leaving that tooth alone, it would be that much more loose by the end of the day.
Sure enough, a few hours after lunch, Duncan runs to find Anna yelling that Liam's tooth came out! At first Duncan was saying he pulled it out, but I think he meant he saw it come out. I guess what happened was Liam kept pushing the tooth forward with his tongue as they were playing Wii, and finally pushed it enough that it went flying out. So all in one day, he got a loose tooth, and it came out. The one front bottom tooth left is loose now too. But that one looks like it will take a while. Maybe that tooth will get the McAlister treatment.
Here are some pictures...
The tooth fairy left him a dollar!
*side note: Duncan has 3 loose teeth. Both front teeth, and a lower tooth.

Correction:
Duncan has 4 loose teeth: both front top teeth and two lower teeth, next to the ones in the center. I'm sure if Sara reads this, she will be able to correct my lame descriptions, and give the actual numbers of the teeth. :)
i would correct you if i knew the answer. adult teeth are counted by numbers. for example, your upper front two teeth are numbers 8and 9. baby teeth are counted by letters. i should know them...but i don't. i'll have to remember to ask at work.
