Eli Lost His First Tooth!

Eli lost his first tooth and it is about time.  The two bottom front teeth have been loose for almost a month now and he has new teeth growing in already.  We tried tying a string to his tooth and the door, but the string wouldn't stay on.  He was convinced that he wouldn't go to bed until his tooth came out.  Therefore, I took a pair of pliers and pulled it out.  It hurt, but only for a minute.  It is under his pillow now, awaiting the tooth fairy.
