The Mighty Tooth Yanker

Gannon will be 7 in 2 days and has been yearning to join the ranks of toothless children everywhere. He's been patiently working his bottom tooth back and forth for months, hoping that it would just give up and fall out already. We were sitting around the table eating lunch today, when Jeremy told Gannon to just get a tissue and "rip that thing out".  As per Jeremy's instructions, Gannon got a tissue, grabbed a hold and yanked it right out!  We all stared at him dumbfounded.  Mouths agape, we thought to ourselves, "Did our eyes deceive us?  Did we really just witness this act of sheer grit?  What courage, what heart! What a boy.  Truly inspiring, Gannon.  You've earned that gap in your smile.  To all the rest of Gannon's teeth I say...beware!
