My first thought when my son's 2 front teeth were loose, were to give him corn on the cob to speed up the process. But that's didn't work, it hurt too much to bite into it, so I ended up cutting the corn off the cob. Next try was an apple, guess I didn't learn the first time. No can do. That hurt too. I wanted to pull his tooth out using a tissue, that worked well for my other kids, but this one wouldn't let me try. So he was on his own. The tooth held on for a few days until it finally came out while chewing on a potato chip. He was excited at first., then he got scared and said it felt bad and cried. After rinsing his mouth and finding a box to put his tooth in to place under his pillow, he quickly changed his tune and said "Hey, I'm going to get money tonight!"
That night I made him scrambled eggs for dinner. I remembered his Dad suggesting it when the other kids were little. Father knows best. He was very happy. Other good foods to give your child days after or even before their teeth fall out is. Rice, tender cooked broccoli, macaroni and cheese, oatmeal, soup, yogurt, cottage cheese. After a few days they adapt and bite from the side and can get back to eating their regular meals. He lost another tooth tonight, he's a real pro now.

Long Beach Polar Bear Club 2009
This year my son Freddie was amongst the largest crowd in history to jump in the water the winter. The event raised money for The Make A Wish Foundation. The 2009 record breaker (3,500 people) will be recorded in the Guiness Book of World records. My son who tells me he is freezing walking to the train station each morning or riding his bike in the cold winter wind, actually stripped down to his bathing suit and did some body surfing! Way to go Long Beach NY Polar Bears! read more about this and see a video at their official site http://www.longbeachpolarbears.org/ or at Newsday.com
