My Two Front Teeth

Ashton's front teeth have been loose for a while. Then last Sunday as we are leaving for church, he announces that one of them is going to fall out. Jeff tried to pull it, but couldn't get it. So we told Ashton to take a wash cloth with him in the car and keep working on it. Loaded in the car, waiting for Mom, it came out. We cleaned up the blood, changed his shirt and off to church we went. The tooth fairy came that night and left him $1!



The next day as Ashton was talking we kept laughing at his "middle" tooth. We thought it was hilarious how much his tooth moved. Two gaps on each side, and this funky middle tooth!


He made it through a half week of school, Thanksgiving dinner, and extra treats. Then Saturday morning (after breakfast), He was talking to me, and I realized the gap was larger! I asked if he lost his other tooth, but he (and Jeff) said "No". Then a few minutes later he was talking to me again, and I couldn't believe how big the gap was! I asked again, "Are you sure you didn't lose your other tooth?" He opened his mouth and Jeff looked, sure enough, the tooth was gone!


We checked his plate, and crumbs of His Pop Tart, but no tooth. We ran to his room and checked his bed. There was a little spot of blood on his pillow, and there under the blankets, was his tooth! He lost it in his sleep! We almost lost, lost the tooth! He couldn't believe he didn't even know! I couldn't believe he ate breakfast without noticing.


I am having fun with this stage! It's fun because Ashton can see and feel these changes, and He knows it is because He is growing up. His smile is so adorable! I don't want his permanent teeth to grow in! I don't want him to grow up! I love his sweet toothless smile! I LOVE my little boys. And even though I wish they would stay this age FOREVER it is fun to watch them grow and learn. To more changes... and a Merry Chrissssss... Aw Happy New Year!
