Teeth

I remember when Clyde's front teeth came in. And all the silliness that happened...like Mommy doing a dance when she saw that toothy grin. I remember how much pain it caused my poor baby boy. I remember calling everyone in our family to share the news. And many family members came over to see my baby's mouth.

On Sunday Clyde lost his first tooth...he's adorable, but it made me sad. Our tradition is that the "tooth fairy" brings our kids a book and puts it under their pillow. He was afraid he'd get a fairy book like Lucy. Whew! It was a Spiderman book. Boy, was that a relief.

Then on Tuesday, he lost his second tooth....as you can see, his big boy teeth had already been growing behind his loose baby teeth. They've been loose a LONG time and caused him more headache than his sister ever had. This time he got a Superman book.

And here are those teeth I remember growing in not so very long ago. And of course, when he lost each one, Mommy did a little dance when she saw that toothy grin. I endured all the pain they caused my poor baby boy, trying to fall out. I called everyone in our family to share the news. And family members came over to see my baby's mouth.
