Toothless

Back in June the Ward boy had an unfortunate accident with Dustin and Daphne's little rock wall.  He was walking on it, one rock slipped, down he went, "chip" went the tooth.  That's right, the poor guy chipped his right front tooth.  The next day we went to the dentist and the X-rays looked fine, so a little sealant went on his tooth and we hoped for the best!  And he's been great until last week when he told us it hurt when he ate.  An appointment last Friday confirmed that the tooth was now dead, a small abscess had formed, and it needed to be pulled.  Well, this big boy was excited and wanted it pulled that day!  However, Dr. Jenkins thought it best to give some antibiotics to clear up the infection so the anesthetic would work better.

Well, this morning was the morning and Wardy boy was pumped!  He couldn't wait to go get his tooth pulled!  The two of us hopped in the car and off we went.  Of course, we had to have a picture before...

 ...and after!

And let me tell you, this boy was super brave!  He even had Dr. Jenkins bragging on him!  He has now informed us that we are to call him "Toothless" (from "How to Train Your Dragon").  He completes that request with a ROAR!
