Noah has had a loose tooth for so long now that the permanent tooth started coming in behind it and was pushing the old one forward. I took him to the dentist to have it checked out but he wouldn't pull it and it just kept protruding farther and farther out--it just would not fall out! So yesterday his Grammy offered him a reward if he would pull it out himself. He hemmed-and-hawed over it for quite some time but the bribe finally won out. We got a piece of string tied around the offending tooth and he started yanking on it: gingerly at first testing his pain tolerance I suppose and finally it just popped right out. Hooray!
Sorry if this grosses you out...
My proud and brave toothless wonder!(at least he won't be for long since that new tooth is already showing itself)

How very brave!
I enjoyed the pictures and reading about the project! Noah is braver than Sophie. She'd rather let a tooth rot than pull it out!
Way to go Noah! Is his other front tooth loose? Kids with no front teeth are so cute!
Make sure he understands the next one is all mine!!!!! :)
i'm so glad those days are over! i hated when they were all wiggly!
Did the tooth fairy come or did you choose to celebrate in a different way?
we supplemented the bribe $ so he could go get a toy he'd been wanting. he didn't get anything for the first 2 teeth tho' and he didn't seem to care either...
Hey, Noah,
You'll never have to be afraid for a tooth to come out again now that you know how relatively easy it is!
