We're getting used to the new look that will likely last for 3 or 4 years. Jake did a wonderful job at "the office" as he calls it. We had our friend (Jonas' mom) Melinda, take the teeth out. He did great with the Darth Vador Nitris (sp?) mask and happily watched Sponge Bob the whole time. The doctors and assistants helped him be really calm and he had no idea they were giving him shots. He complained the shots hurt twice, but just said ow and didn't freak out. They were wonderful in the office. Melinda even let Jake take the movie home (oh, bless you. I do not care for sponge bob at all). He really still looks cute--just more grown up than ever. I had a few weak moments, choking back tears as I called Christy to watch Alisa last minute, and choking back tears as they twisted his teeth out. I'll take a picture of them. The roots are eaten up and definitely NOT healthy. The tooth fairy came through, biting the bullet for a sweet Buzz Lightyear doll. He is in Buzz heaven now.

it was great to see you on Saturday and Jake is super cute!
Poor boy! He does look grown up...
I think he looks adorable!! He looks so grown up! That is so great that he did so well and yeah for the Buzz Lightyear!
Oh my goodness - he was so brave! What a sweetie! I am glad that it all went so well and that he got the much anticipated Buzz! Yeah!
AH, too sad...but at least the tooth fairy brought something good (not like our tooth fairy that only brings $.50)
So good that he wasn't traumatized! I think you were more traumatized than he was, for sure! He'll be just fine. You get used to the toothless look. Before you know it, he'll be grown up and married and you'll almost forget about the toothless time, except for the pictures.
He looks adorable, and you're right, more grown up! In a couple years when his friends start losing their teeth in a more natural way, he'll be proud to say that he was the first to lose any teeth! Good job, Mom! This was a tough one for you. And great work, Melinda!
Ali~Please let Scott know his kids are so darn cute.. I sure love watching them grow.. Hopefully Jake will one day find as good a friend that Corey found in Scott.

I can't believe the teeth had to go! what a sad day! But he looks cuter than ever. I'm glad you all survived it! I cant wait for Thanksgiving so I can see you guys again! Love you!
He does look so much older without his front teeth! He is still such a stud! Our kids are so close in age they would have so much fun together- maybe someday!
